I A 1 Salem, Oregon, Tu3ty, February 12, 1957 THE CAPITAU JOURNAE SecHoi! 8 Council Junks Proposed New City Gas Code Members of the Salem city coun ts Monday junked a proposed new city gas code. Reason the action was taken was that a code covering all types of heating fuels is to be prepared. Mayor Robert F. White announced that a heating code committee will be appointed in the near future. He explained that other fuels, as well as gas, present hazards and that all should be covered in the code. The proposed revision in the gas code had been prepared following an investigation by a special mayor's committee which was set up after the blast which destroyed the Dennis Howarth home, 785 North 20th St., last December, in juring Mr. and Mrs. Howarth and their six-year-old daughter. Joseph Dodd, Salem manager ef the Portland Gas and Coke com pany, told members of the council that his firm would present the city a written report on all new installations and re - activation of unused lines in the interim period until the new fuel code is ap proved. Among the ordinances introduced at the council session was one for a new building code. The proposed code is the most recent revision of the code which is used by the tity.

DOROTHY DIX Consider Yourself Lucky Your In-Laws Don't Visit DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My in-laws have been very nice to Us and have helped us in many ways. However, although we visit them quite frequently, they never come to our house. We ask them, but they always have some excuse. Do you think we should stay home until they decide to visit us? Selma. DEAR SELMA: If folks could just stop tak ing offense where none is Intended, there cer lainly would be a lot less dlficulty among In laws. Some older people Just don't Ilk to visit; don't make an International episode out of It. Learn, while you're young, to make allow ances for others, and to permit a certain latitude In personal preferences. You'll be amazed how happy the world will be as a consequence. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Some time ago I met a wonderful man who was married though I didn't know that until our friendship was a few months old. He's separated from his wife, and has in stituted divorce proceedings. I know all about it, as I handle his cor respondence. He writes endless letters to lawyers, and has paid I htm a substantial sum, but he seems to stop at doing anything further. He won't see the lawyers, and won't get new counsel. I feel he should be hammering at them. Gilda. DEAR GILDA: Why not drop the whole thing, break your "en gagement," take a trip. If possible, and see how matters go with out your constant prodding and nagging? When a man stalls on divorce proceedings, he's not eager for a new marriage, obviously. Looks like his wife still rates tops, though he may not realize it. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My youngster is very much overweight, and has been put on a reducing diet by our doctor. Well-meaning friends feed her things she shouldn't have and, of course, she accepts them. Perhaps your opinion may have a restraining effect. Hazel. DEAR HAZEL: Why is it that people won't cooperate with a dieter, whether she's 4 or 40! I'm sure all your friends know about the problem, and have been asked to observe the child's diet.' If they won't all you can do is devote your life to keeping the child away from forbidden food. Not only must you guard your own cake box, but that of every house you visit. You might try having a bib or pinafore embroidered with the plea, "Please don"t feed Betsy anything!" The embroidery can be simply done In running stitch. ' DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Carl promised to quit smoking when we started to go steady, but he has never kept his promise. Am I wrong to expect him to please me? Rosie. DEAR ROSIE: You aren't wrong to expect anything, but how far are you willing to go to hold him to his promise?
