The plane sank soon after. "Swells ranged from eight to 20 feet," they said. "The water was choppy and ram squalls came every 40 minutes. The kite for the radio wouldn't fly, so we inflated a balloon, which floated for an , hour. Then the , wind broke the antenna. Could Feel Sharks "Friction caused by a coz bottle punctured a hole in the bottom of the raft There being no repair kit, fingers and wood en corks from oar handles were used to plug holes for 56 hours A pump was used continuously. Sharks were bumping- the bot tom of the raft and, five of us were seasick." ; t On Thursday, the men watch ed despairingly as two search planes flew overhead but failed to spot the. raft.

Rash Decision Can Mean -Bitter Regret Later On ' Seldom does a rash decision work put satisfactorily. Certain ly decisions about one's; whole future should not be made with out careful thought from every angle;;-::- -v-- ---:.x:J; .y (Q) "I am 21 years old and have a serious problem . facing ' me. My parents will not let me date anyone of a different . religion. I recently dated a ; swell guy in secret, but when ' he met my parents they blew ; a fuse. So we broke up. Fel lows from my church don't even know I exist, though I'm an- active member and attend all the affairs. Now X have definitely made up my mind to leave home and mar ry ' someone of any faith. I Z . hate to do this, because my mother is ill and quite , along in years. But on the other hand, I'm tired of living with a ball and chain on my foot. I'm desperate and - will do anything to lead a new life. I : have a good Job and earn enough to leave home. . What is your .opinion?" ;. : " (A) it seems to me that you are in no ; mental state how to make aPdecision that will affect the whole course of your life. You may do something you'll regret bitterly unless you wait until your emotions calm down. So long as your parents feel as; thev Dr. Hurloclc. do, you can be sure that you would cut your self off from them forever if you married a man of another faith. With your mother old and in poor health, you certainly could not do that, no matter how you feel at the moment. Go to your minister and -tell him how matters stand. He may be able to convince your, parents that marrying a man of a differ- Chamber Gommifle ent religion would not necessar ily affect your own faith, that he might even be willing to accept your faith. He could certainly see to it that you met some young men of your own religion. He may not realize that you have not met any through your church activities. ' v. Surely you must meet young men of your own faith through your business associates. If there are none where you work now, why not get a job in an organ ization where s you will meet some? You are only ,21 years old. You have your whole life ahead of you: iDon't throw it away in a fit of desperation.
