'As We Live
By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
Threatens To Leave
His Wife Destitute
Some husbands seem to delight
in making their wives feel that
they must obey them in every
thing regardless of their own
feelings. Some even hold over
their wives heads the threat of
leaving them penniless.
(Q) "My husband has threat
ened to leave me and go to
another slate. This happens
every time we have an argu
ment or whenever I ask him
for money for myself and our
children, or object to his drink
ing and going around with
other women. Now he tells
' me that the next time I say
anything about his drinking, it
will be my last chance lo 'boss'
him, as he calls it.
"We have three small chil
dren, the youngest less than a
year old. I can't leave them
and go out to work. My par
ents are old, in poor health,
and have only a small pension
to live on. It is hard enough
for them to make ends meet
as it is without me bringing
the children to live with them.
I feel trapped and don't know
where to turn. What do you
advise me to do?"
(A) There are three pieces of
advice I can give you. First, do
not go back to your parents, ex
cept in a case
of real emerg
ency. It is not
fair to them to
give them this
burden, and it
is not fair to
your children
to deprive
them of a
mother's care
while you go
out to work.
Second, consult jour minister
about taking your problem to a
domestic relations court to Bee
if something can be done to make
your husband behave as a hus
band and father should. If not,
perhaps a legal separation with
financial provision for you and
the three children would be the
solution.
Finally, avoid antagonizing
him until you get the law on
your side. Otherwise he may
carry out his threat and leave
the state. Then you and the chil
dren would be destitute. I know
t is hard to be "trapped" but
look upon this only as a tem
porary condition, until you make
some arrangements with the
court.

Capetown U.R) Three West
Indian stowaways were being
held in prison today awaiting
return to the West Indies. Police
said the three stowed away in
the British ship Resisunt, hoping
to get a free ride to Britain.
Only when they revealed their
presence did they find the ship
was bound for South Africa.
Lounty Chapter of OSC Mothers' Club
Organized at Meeting; Dean Honored
A Jackson county unit of Oregon State College Mothers' club
was organized at a luncheon meeting yesterday noon, and Mrs.
H. W. Crain, Medford, was named president. The meeting was
held at the Medford hotel, and Miss Helen S. Moor, dean of women
at the school, was honored guest.
Dr. Hurlock
Mrs. Frank Lambo, Medford,
was named vice-president, Mrs.
John Bohnert, Central Point,
secretary and Mrs. Orrin L.
Brown, Medford, treasurer.
Mrs. John Carter served as
temporary chairman, and Miss
Moor was introduced by Mrs.
Elmo Stevenson, Ashland. Miss
Moor spent the weekend in Ash
land as a guest of Dr. Stevenson,
president of Southern Oregon
college, and Mrs. Stevenson.
Miss Moor spoke of the func
tion of the mothers' clubs, say
ing they were one of the great
est sources of strength of OSC,
and added that in addition to
providing support for the school
in a variety of manners, the
clubs also raised funds for
scholarships. Eighteen were
awarded last year, she stated,
each being for a full year's tui
tion. She said these were not
awarded on the basis of supe
rior scholarship alone, but to
students of outstanding leader
ship and citizenship. They are
announced each year during the
Mothers' weekend program' at
the college.
The dean also explained oth
er organizations which support
the school, naming a federation
of mothers, fathers, alumni and
students, and a foundation
through which financial gifts
are made to the school.
Miss Moor spoke briefly of the
school in general, saying OSC
was making an effort to raise
academic standards, but that
students were often given a
chance to improve their scholar
ship before being dropped. She
spoke of the plan to have host
esses for all fraternity chapters
and of a new plan which pro
vides upperclass counselors for
freshmen women.
Mrs. Herschel Morris sang,
accompanied by Mrs. Crain. The
tables were decorated with
bowls of yellow daffodils and
forsythia arranged by Mrs.
Brown.
The committee which arrang
ed the luncheon was composed
of Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Lester Har
ris, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Lambo,
Mrs. R. M. Johnson, Mrs. Henry
Padgham, Mrs. Robert S. Ruko
vina, Mrs. Crain and Mrs. Moore
Hamilton, Medford; Mrs. R. C.
Stemple, Ashland, and Mrs.
Bohnert.

HAPPEN
Sometimes "popular demand" will push
the best-known stocks beyond their real value.
These may be vulnerable to sudden market
changes. On the other hand, certain under
valued securities ignored today by the public
may be the leaders tomorrow. Markets go up
and markets go down but good values are
always available.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE
Dike Hastily Erected To Divert Hawaii Lava Flow
Pahoa. Hawaii (U.R) Mol
ten laval pushed today against
an earthen dike thrown up hast
ily by six buldozers m an at
tempt to save a sugar plantation
camp from destruction.
The eight buldings in t n e
camp housed about a dozen wor
kers, who were evacuated yes
terday before the bulldozers
were called in.
The lava flowed from an out
burst in the Kilauea volcanic
field about a mile above the
camp. Early today, it was edg
ing slowly along the dike but
it could not be told whether it
would break down the 200 foot
long barrier.
Offshoot of Main Flow
Seismologist Jerry Eaton of
the Hawaiian Volcano observa
tory, said to his knowledge it
was the first time any such
method was ever attempted to
divert a lava flow.
The lava threatening the camp
was an offshoot of the main flow
which had moved about VA
miles through forest and cane
land after bursting out of a re
activated cone near Illewa cra
ter. Observers predicted the flow
might reach the sea sometime today.
The flow yesterday destroyed
one home, ate through 80 acres
of sugar cane and isolated about
a dozen head of horses and cat
tle. The flow was being fed by a
fountain hurling lava 300 to 400
feet in the air.
Chicago U.R) William Masa
mitsu told police Monday why
his dog Rex wouldn't come when
called. Police, summoned when
the dog tried to board an ele
vated train, said they had to
chase Rex halfway across town
before they caught him. Masa
mitsu said the dog understands
only Japanese.
