Reserve Service by Officer Young men wishing to choose the Navy for their military ser vice' were. advised today to en list in a reserve unit before new legislation affecting the reserve program is enacted, J. Rodney Keating, Jackson county: judge Awho is also com manding officer of the Naval reserve electronics division 13-5, pointed out that it is expected such new legislation will- severe ly limit or stop recruiting into the Naval reserve. - . "It appears that if the men in the 17 to 18 Vi-yeax-old brack et want the Navy as the service of their choice when they go on active duty, they had better en list in the Naval reserve and join a drilling' unit, either for pay or non-pay, before this pro posed legislation ,; is 7" enacted, Commander Keating said.

Monday if As We Live MOTHER-IN-LAW LISTENS IN ON TELEPHONE TALKS Sharing a house , with in-laws can cause a lot of trouble. The best way to put an end to fins is to move away. .

This Infuriates ma. Also, when ever I go out of tha house, Z aaa her coming io lha window to watch where, I am going, t don't think it is any of her affair. If eel as if I were being . spied on. My husband ' Hkes Hying in the same house as his folks; he likes to go down- 'stairs to see them in the eve nings. We have no children and could live anywhere we wanted.. I -think his parents ' count' on the rent we pay them, ', but I tell my husband . they could rent ; Iho apartment, to someone else. How ean X eon' vince him that I am not happy as things are now?": (A) From what you have said I infer that your husband is some- m iuing - oi a who would never believe you if you suggested that his . mother "spies" on you. Therefore you would have to :have a better argument than that to per suade him to move. ' . So far as you are concerned, it is essential to get away. .Of course your mother-in-law should t . .Tk -i Dr. Hurlock not listen In -on your telephone conversations. Most people would not stoop to such a thing. It-may be just idle curiosity that makes her look out of the window every time you leave the house, but at the same time it is bound to be annoying to a grown woman. . ; : Couldn't ypu persuade your husbaad that you want to have a small house in the . country 60 you can have a garden? Or think up some other good reason, for wanting to move far enough away from your in-laws that they will not interfere in your life. (Copyright 1955, General . Features Corp.)
