Celebrate Fiftieth There's An Answer (by Mornutn ViniMMit IVulc and liutli Stafford I Vale*) On Saturday, June 14, Charles and Villa Cun­ ningham celebrated their fiftieth wedding an­ niversary. Cocktails and dinner were enjoyed by thirty-five guests at Henrici's restaurant in Oakbrook, 111. Villa Cunningham, the former Villa Rothermel and Charlie Cunningham were married at St. Mary's church in McHenry, June 18, 1930. Leo Rothermel, a current resident of McHenry and brother of Villa, gave her away. Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham are currently residing in Darien, 111. . No problem of life has ever been solved by dodg­ ing fac t s and runn ing away from the truth. Wants to come home. Q. We had to move my 90-year-old mother from the hospital to a nursing home. She had made her home with us for six years until she fell and broke Her hip. When she asks me when she can come back home it really upsets me, since I know in my heart that it can never be. At times I feel my heart will break. How can I carry this burden? A. Carry it like any burden, with God's help. Reassure your mother that the care she receives in the nursing home is what she needs. Help her to feel comfortable and secure there. Visit often, cheerfiilly bringing news of the outside world. And accept the situation. Perhaps in time she willjtoo.

I have been married to an alcoholic for 27 years. He always said if he laid a hand on me to have him committed. A year ago he almost choked me to death. Well, he did go to a Is there an/hope for the alcdholic^l'get the impression from doctors that there is none, but for some reason I still have hope. I pray daily, but on paydays I give up hope. I know with God ALL things are possible, but there is no God as far as my husband is concerned. A. You are wrong in your statement that "There is no God as far as my husband is concerned." Your husband's opinion cannot limit God. Of course there is hope for the alcoholic, lots of hope. Try Alcoholics Anonymous. They have brought new life, new hope to thousands of alcoholics. Look them up in your telephone directory. Ask their help. They are always ready and willing to help those who want to be helped, and they have been effective in cases without number. Unwilling widows Q. My Moid, a recently retired minister whose wife died some time ago, would like to marry again. He knows there are more widows than widowers, but most have little interest in a new marriage. The widow is still either devoted to her husband or, conversely, fears she might be as unhappy with a new husband as with the old one. Some have income that makes them very independent. Others are unwilling to accept the Social Security reduction that often goes with marriage. Still others are absorbed in their grandchildren or in social life. A good many dislike the probability of caring for an elderly husband in his declining years. How can my minister friend AM an eligible woman who would like to marry? A. No doubt the situations you describe exist. But, your minister friend must make it perfectly clear that what he really wants is a meaningful marriage relationship. This will be a strong drawing card. Then, urge him to use his ministerial experience to assess Ids widow friends' motivation. He's looking for someone with a similar outlook, someone whose goal is also a close, sharing marriage. Surprisingly, the right spouse will turn up when he sends out vibrations of warmth and companionship.
