As We Live Just As Tough To B A Widower As A Widow Most people feel that the prob lems of a widow are much great er than those of a widower. The following letter shows that the widow is not the only one with problems to solve. The problem he describes thus: (Q) "I notice you get a lot of letters from widows who say they are lonely and arc looking for another husband. I am a widower and lonely, but that is not my only prob lem. I know there are plenty of widows but, like most wid owers who have had a happy marriage, I am afraid of mak ing a mistake. Also, I hart one son in the Army who will be home in July and another son who will be called into the service in the near future. I must have a home for them. What woman would want me with two sons who would have to live with us? Yes, I am lonely, but my children must have a home." (A) I agree with you that your sons must have a home. When thev go into the service, nothing is better lor their morale than to know that their home is waiting for them when they are on furlough o r when they fin ish the period of their serv ice. Dr. Hurlock Going into the service, when a young man is not planning to make this his life career, is often an upsetting experience for a young man. He feels that he is interrupting his education or his work, and that he is cutting him self off from his friends. The one really secure anchor he has is his home. That is why it is so important for you to have a home for your sons now. Soon, however, they will be thinking of marriage and estab lishing homes for themselves. Most young men realize how lonely their fathers can be when rfr SHOE STORE 6th and Fashioned for always on the go You'll Find the Going Smoother in COMFORT Casuals by Vogue EASTER SPECIALS VOGUE Softens Every Step Priced $3.95-$5.00 MAIL TRIBUNE By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. 'their mothers die and how hard it is for a man to keep the home running, especially if he has a business to go to every day. I am sure your sons would want you to remarry, if you prepared them for it. Don't spring it on them, as it were, while they are away from home. It would be far better to talk over the whole matter with them so they will know what you have in mind. Then, if you find any one you think will be happy with you and you with her, make sure your sons have a chance to get to know her -before you marry. If they like her, they will welcome a woman's influence in the horn. (COPYRIGHT 1955, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) Wyoming Hotel Fire Leaves Six Dead Laramie, Wyo.

March 16, 1953 Spring Footwear for Younger Set Shows Smart Spring Styles Easter shoes for little girls were never prettier.. The classic favorites the pump, the shell line one strap and the Mary Jane continue to be the smartest shoes for young wearers. But they have a new look this sea son, in line with the dainty fem inine trend in little girl fash ions. Black patent, as always, is a big favorite. You can't have spring without black patent slip pers for little girls. But this year it is being crowded by the popu larity of whites, off-whites and pastels. The pink shoe, so smart for grown-ups, is the big news for children too. And pink trim on black patent is a favorite. Pale blue and pearl luster grey are also used for decorative touches on patent. Next to patent for general wear is a lighter, livelier navy in smooth leather. The little red shoe, always a spring fashion, is still important especially in the new bright scarlet. But the whites and paler tones are com ing up fast, since they are charming with all the airy full skirted summer dresses. Decorative Treatments Just as grown-up shoes are going in for dressmaker touches, so the vamps on children's slip pers show decorative treat ments. There are white or col ored nailheads, embroideries, the sparkle of jewel trims, pip ings and sitchings.

The patents and smooth leath ers lead the field, although there are some suedes in navy, beige or pastel shades. Mesh is less in evidence than last year When used, it is usually in trim ming for whites and patents handled in a dainty and delicate way. Fabrics in children's shoes are mostly linens and shantungs, which are good for late spring and summer wear and practical because they are easily dyed to match any costume. For everyday wear, there are many attractive new patterns for little girls. The good old sad dle oxford is still in there. But there are new colors in smooth leather for the saddle reds, blues, green as well as tan. New er is the side zipper step-in, a boy s favorite that the girls have taken over.

Soft for Sturdy Wear There are any number of new treatments for the moccasin and slip-on shoes. The kiltie theme is good, as in a kiltie tongue slip on of bright red leather. The gore which holds the shoe in place is concealed under the kil tie tongue of this high straight throatline design.

(By Weather-Birds.) Government Agency Studying Adoptions Through Black Market By BETTY PRYOR United Press Correspondent Washington 0J.R) The Chil dren's Bureau is trying to find out how many babies are being adopted through black market ing. As far as the government bu reau knows, no organized black market baby rings now are oper ating in the country. But it sus pects some black marketing ar ranging adoptions for a price by individuals, a spokesman said today. "Unquestionably some individ uals are serving as intermedi aries for money," Social Worker Margaret Thornhill said. Information Scarce Miss Thornhill, who is mak ing a year-long survey of adop tions for the government agency, said information on baby black marketing is very difficult to obtain. No one involved talks about it. Even officials in com munities where it s suspected cannot estimate how many ba bies may be involved, she said. Her survey is aimed at finding out why some 20,000 adoptions a year are arranged outside of es tablished public, private, . or church social agencies. A second aim is to determine what needs to be done to protect the babies, as well as the rights of their nat 21 N. CENTRAL - ' ural parents and couples adopt ing them. No one knows how much black marketing may figure in such adoptions, she said. Adoptions Increasing All told, around 90,000 chil dren of all ages are adopted each year, about half of them by rela tives and step-parents. Adopting children has in creased in recent years, Miss Thornhill said. Requests from couples for babies is about nine times the number of infants available for adoption through social agencies, she said. Reguests for older children are considerably less, and the agen cies have to "do a little promot ing," she said. The agencies are making a great deal of effort- to place, older children,, and also handicapped youngsters. Miss Thornhill said. TO SEEK BIDS Salem '(U.R) The State Board of Control yesterday authorized the advertising of bids for a site for the projected $14,000,000 Portland area mental hospital.
