I have this problem. I like
this guy. but so does my best
friend, She used to go with
him a Jong time ago. Since
he’s three years older than
me and only two years older
than her. she thinks he’s too
old for me. What do you
think? By the way, I think he
likes me. Please help.

OUR REPLY:We think
we understand the situation.

And. you have to help your-
self. We can only offer ad-
vice. We doubt if one year
makes as much difference

as your friend seems to

think. Also. it's alright for .
both of you to like this guy.
He likes both of you. too. The |
next step is for everybody to
choose who they want to be
with — if it's too difficult for
everybody to be together.

genre collections used to
illustrate a particular place
or period of history. In the
case of the Mint, the coins in
its possession were
primarily pieces ‘struck by
the Mint, acting as a sort of
personal history.

The need for a com-
prehensive national
collection was obvious but
the problems involved in
building such a collection
without upsetting the

DIE

numismatic market were
equally obvious.

To begin, the process. of
gathering a __ national

collection the bank ap-—

pointed. a recognized
Canadian numismatist, Guy

D ada’s. Potter, to the post of
national collection began in -

numismatic consultant to.
the bank: His job was to
investigate and recommend

_to the Bank of Canada a

means of building a com-
plete . Canadian - collection .
and to draw’ up plans
Suggesting the sort of
material that was to be

~ included in the program.

Mr. Potter worked on his
recommendations to the

‘Ottawa.

In 1963 the Bank ‘of
Canada decided to go ahead .
with the planned collection
and a full-time curator to

_thecollection was appointed -
to implement the long task.

envisioned by Mr. Potter.
The man who was appointed
to do the job was Major
Sheldon Carroll, a former

Canadian Army officer who -

had been a numismatist for
forty years and was the.
founding President of the
Canadian Numismatic
Association, The Canadian
Society of the Medallic Arts
and a Fellow of the Roayl
Numismatic Society.

Major Carroll’s. first step .
was to sell his own private .
collection in. order to. avoid. .

conflict of interest and he.

then began the job of .

building the national.
collection. a
When Major Carroll

began to examine the

markets and buy pieces, the ©

Bank of Canada was already

in possession of some two or |
ieces, .
mostly notes. Using theseas_ -
a base from which to ex- . —
pand, he began purchasing “

three hundred

pieces from _ private

collections, dealers, auc- ~~

tions and any other place
that objects of interest to

him became available...

He was able to buy some
complete collections from

private individuals such as. |
the J.D. Ferguson collection .

which he acquired. in 1965.
He wanted those pieces
which duplicated those:

already in his possession, to. -
use as trading pieces. -
Using this method of.
acquiring pieces and with:

me received from dealers and
= private collectors, he has
