SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, Nerembti S, 1934 As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK. PH.D. Blames Spouse for Death Of Her Three Children Breaking up a marriage means oven more unhappiness to an older person than it does to a younger one. A man writes: (Q) "I am 57 years old and have been married for 34 years. We had three children but they all died when they were young. My wife nags ' and blames me for everything. She calls me names and even strikes me. I am retired on a disability pension for nerves "and loss of sight in one eye. 'Her treatment is making a r.ervous wreck of me. She acts as if she hates me. and I know she blames me for ihe death of our children. I know she needs psychiatric care but I cannot get her to a doctor. I have stood her treatment for 34 years but I can't take it now. Yet I love her very ' much and don't want to leave her. Can you advise me?" (A) Somehow or other, you Census of Religion Plans Discussed By Ministers Here Plans for a religious census to be conducted in the Medford area during the period from March 3 to March 10 next year were discussed here yesterday at a meeting of the Medford Ministerial association. Plans for the special census have been in preparation for some time. Committees to work for the project were appointed at yesterday's meeting. Other subjects discussed at the Tuesday session included naming local ministers to serve as chaplains at meetings of the city council. The Rev. Willis Loar, president of the associa tion, was instructed to submit names of three local ministers to the council, which will then make a final choice. Union Service Plans were made for a Union Thanksgiving day service, which "will be held at 10 a.m. Thanks giving day at the First Meth odist church. The Rev. R. W. Hum, pastor of the Nazarene church was selected to deliver the Thanksgiving day sermon. The association agreed to re linquish any share in the Thanksgiving offering, which this year will be divided be tween the Jackson County Board of Religious Education, and the Church World Service Organization for World Relief. fJmrrVi Ltasue Bob Jones, secretary of the Medford YMCA, announced plans for organization of a church basketball league, and urged the cooperation of all Medford churches. The association heard read a letter from local florists, pro testing against the practice of requesting that no flowers be sent to funerals but that a gift be made instead to some organ ization. The ministers took no action, pointing out that the as ociation exercises no control over the policies of individual member churches. Federal Accounting Jobs Slated for Examination Examinations for the posi tions of accounting and audit ing clerk, with a yearly salary of $3,175, and accountant and auditor, with a salary of $3,410 to $3,795 a year, were an nounced today by the United States civil service commission. Application forms and further information may be obtained at the Medford post office build ing. Applications must be filed with the Director, 11th U.S. Civil Service Region, 302 Fed eral Office Building, Seattle 4, Wash., not later than Nov. 22. must see that a doctor and, ff!rJl Dr. Hurlock your wife sees if he advises it, consults a psy chiatrist. Back of her treat ment of you is unquestionably a resent m e n t stemming from the death of your children. It would help if the doctor could explain to her what caused the death of your children and let her see that you were not to blame in any way. That would help 'eliminate her re sentment toward you. It would also help if your minister would talk to her. -Because you are retired, you are at home more than you would otherwise be. This causes you and your wife to get on each other's nerves and intensi fies existing resentments. Ask your doctor to suggest some acti vity, such as a hobby, that would keep you busy and out of the house part of the time. It would be good for your nerves to have something to occupy you and even better for your relationship with your wife. You are very wise not to want to break up your marriage now. If you did, you and she would face a very lonely old age. It does not mean, on the other hand, that you should tolerate things as they are. I am sure you can improve the situation that now exists by calling on pro fessional help. (Copyright 1954, General Features Corp.) I , Business Planes Outnumber Airlines Washington U.R) Ameri can business has taken to the skies in such numbers that to day's fleet of business planes is almost 17 times larger than that operated by the nation's fleet of domestic airlines. In fact, according to Planes, official publication of the Air craft Industries Association, U.S. businesses own almost twice as many large, multi-engined trans port planes as do the scheduled domestic airlines. Latest figures show that bus iness planes now number 21,500 of which 2,437 are multi-engined and 19,063 are single-en-gined. Aircraft on scheduled air lines total 1,269. The industry publication says the sharp rise in use of aircraft by corporations and professional men, as well as by small bus inesses, has made this type of flying one of the major factors in the U.S. civil aviation pic ture. Last year, these business planes spent an estimated 6,450, 000 hours in the air, covering approximately 903,000,000 miles on business trips. This compares with a total of about 525,000, 000 plane miles flown by the scheduled airlines, although the commercial airlines carry tre mendously larger numbers of passengers.

(International) j A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington (U.R) I just met a lovely blonde who is looking for a man, one who would like to marry up with her and hunt lions in Africa. I told Fran Keegan, over a glass of ginger ale during an interview, t o go away. And in the second place, I have no love for Harman Nichol lions. They not only give me the hiccoughs, they also scare the daylights out of me. Before my talk with the shape ly Fran, I had just seen a tele vision show in which the man said that lions go after fat old men, who can't run as fast as an telopes. A nearsighted lion could easily mistake me for a fat old man. Wants a Bachelor Fran is bouncing around the country with a road show called "Fifth Season." In the play, the blonde does the part of a girl in love with her boss, who is married. "I don't want anything to do with married men," she said, with the hint of a twinkle in her eye. "I want a man who is a bachelor.

"Well," she said, "I like warm weather. And I like lions. And when you put warm weather and lions together it adds- up to something like Africa. I have never smelled the jungle." Plenty of Proposals The word apparently has got ten around that Fran is not mar ried. She has received fan mail from men all over the world. A lot of them proposing marriage. In show business, Fran' said, you have to be careful whom you date. "I would like a man who iikes lions, has intelligence and com mon sense, and who wants a large family and would share my interests." Where you gonna find a man who likes lions and has common sense?
