Mrs. Wojdala and husband were sent to a la- bor camp in Germany from thelr home in German-occupied Poland in June, 1943,' Not until early this year were mother and daughter, now an attractive young lady, reunited. Kristina was sent to live with her grandparents when her mother and father were taken away. The Wojdalas remained in Germany until 1951 when they were able to leave for Canada. Five years ago negotiations be- gan in Ottawa with the Polish consul for Kristina's passage to Canada. Red tape and a shortage of money delayed the arrange- ments. until last year. Just before Christmas Kristina boarded a ship for Montreal. Then. she took the train to Kapuskasing, Ont., to see her father. Her parents have been separated for eight years. Finally a plane brought her to her mother and brothers, Richard, 14, and Joseph, 12. TO SLICE BREAD Do you ever have trouble slicing a very fresh loaf of bread? Try dipping the knife into boiling water and dry be- 'ore each slice is cut, suggests home economists at Macdonald L stitute, Guelph. OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada's biggest electoral constituency is represented in Ottawa by the tiniest member of Parliament. But the ruggedness and breadth of the Northwest Terri- tories riding are taken in stride by its Liberal MP, Mrs, Isabel J, Hardie, a trim five-foot-one. Besides looking after the needs of this vast territory and spending long hours in the House of Commons, the attrac- tive blonde widow is raising four children ranging in age from four to 19. Mrs, Hardie has had tough challenges before. She recalls the depression years when she walked the streets of Winnipeg looking for work. "It was a very unhappy time but in retrospect I'm glad it happened," she says now. "It helped me in my campaign be- cause I hadn't had things soft earlier in life." She succeeded her late hus- band, Mervyn Hardie, as the member for Northwest Territor- ies, known as Mackenzie River before it was renamed and en- larged to include the Eastern Arctic districts of Keewatin and Franklin in advance of the June 18, 1962, federal general elec- tion, HEEDED HUSBAND "The size of the constituency and the problems of transpor- tation don't worry me,"' she said in an interview during the 1962 campaign. "I am well acquainted with the needs, desires and functions of the Mackenzie district, as I kept in close touch with the work my husband did in the House of Commons," Mr, Hardie, manager of a bush flying service at Yellow- knife, had held the seat for the Liberals from 1953 until his death in 1961. During his ill- ness he encouraged his wife to enter politics "because he felt his work for the north was not finished." Mrs. Hardie's March-to-June election campaign took her thousands of miles across the Northwest Territories, which embraces 1,304,900 square miles, more than one-third of Canada. Most travelling was done by ainplane but there were times she went by transport truck, oil tanker, dogteam and skidoo. Hardship And Responsibility Helps MP During Campaign than 60 below and that's not too bad," said Mrs, Fardie, who is in her early 40s. 'Why, it gets that cold in Winnipeg." She remembers that once the thermometer at their Yellow- knife home broke when the tem- perature reached 80 below "'so we really don't now how cold it got that night. After her husband was first elected to the Commons, she and the children stayed behind John Fordyce. As an infant, she was nicknamed Tibbie by an aunt and is still known by that name among close friends, The family moved to Wianipeg when she was a child. In 1956 she saw a movie tra- velogue on Yellowknife and de- cided to take a tnip there. "I must have been their first tour- ist," she says jokingly, On the first day in Yellow- knife, she met Mervyn Hardie and by the end of her month- long holiday they had decided to marry. They were married in Winnipeg in October and Mrs. Hardie began her life in the north the following Christmas. at Yellowknife for one winter "but the plumbing froze and the furnace quit so we moved here the following year." The family lives in a three- bedroom bungalow here. Peter, 13, and Murray, 12, attend school and help with the chores. Mackenzie (Mac), 4, stays with a neighbor from Monday to Fri- day while Mrs. Hardie is occu- pied in the Commons. and spends weekends at home. El- eanor, 19, a child by an earlier marriage, has a downtown apartment with a girl friend. When the Commons adjourns at 10 p.m., Mrs. Hardie slips over to her neighbor's for a quick look at her sleeping son.

ANN LANDERS Men Swallow the Bait | Then Complain of Hook Dear Ann Landers: That let- ter from the woman who yelled bloody murder because her hus- band leaned on the wallpaper and left grease spots was the last straw. Are the females in America having a mass _ ner- vous breakdown? It's no wonder the divorce rate is going through the' roof. A wife in Philadelphia can't stand her husband because he squeezes the toothpaste tube in the middle. A woman in Cali- fornia doesn't want to iron bed- sheets, A loon in Kentucky won't let ber husband smoke a cigar in the house, Another crazy dame wants to strap a bicycle horn on her husband's head at night so it will wake him up when he snores. Still another nut wants to know what to wear to her husband's funeral--and he isn't even dead yet. I'm convinced that the real trouble-makers in this world are the wacky women, All a person has to do is read your column for a week and he can get plenty of evidence.--R.D. Dear R.D.: Men have been complaining about women from the beginning of time and they continue to marry them, If you can think of a better combina- tion I'll buy it. Dear Ann Landers: When my husband and I are with adults he speaks openly about how much things cost and is not the least bit reluctant to admit we can't afford certain things. I feel this is perfectly all right as most of our friends are in the same boat and we share similar economic problems. I believe, however, that my husband should not make our children feel underprivileged by telling them we can't afford to buy them things which their friends have, Isn't it better to try to interest them in substitute toys? Or perhaps get them two inexpensive items in the place, of one which is costly? I keep telling him they will cruel and full of inequit! Youngsters should not carry this I right?--FRAN- CINE, Dear Francine: You're wrong. Where did you ever get the notion that it's harmful for| children to hear the words "No, we can't afford it,"" If more peo. ple used this phrase instead of hocking their eyeballs to please Parents who spend time with .Jtion. So what's the problem?-- DEEDEE Dear Deedee: I don't know school, buttercup, but most teen-agers who write after the big breakup do want to know how to back into circulation. These their kids, they'd be better off.|it, their children and give them love and attention needn't be concerned about the youngs- ters feeling "'underprivileg Theirs are the lucky ones who grow up straight and strong. Dear Ann Landers: I'm a high school senior who wants to ask a question that has been bug: ging me. Why do teens who were going steady write after they break up and ask how to get back into circulation? In our high school, and it's a pretty big one, everyone knows within the hour who the break- ups are. The news spreads like a forest fire and both kids are automatically back in circula- RIC-RAC PAS 60 Yds. 1.00 800 - 1.00 SCHAEFER Drummondville, Que. find out soon enough that life is CLEANERS and LAUNDERERS OSHAWA - PORT HOPE WHITBY ~ COBOURG BOWMANVILLE - SCARBORO Curtains, Drapes, Blonkets, Ruge OSHAWA'S ONLY UNIONIZED SHOP 723-4631 SO MILL household work and give the boys breakfast.
