Second Attempt For Baker it will be the sec ond attempt to catch a . west bound current that will guide his craft to Hawaii as a shake down cruise for a drift from the Persian Gulf.

U.R) -Spinal meningitis claimed its third sol dier victim in two months Fri day when a 22-year-old Weilsvil le, N.Y., soldier died in the Fort Dix, hospital. Capt.

In Army Five Weeks Kelsey had been in the Army five weeks and was undergoing training with M Company of the 364th Regiment. The death of Pvt. Irwin Wein rib, 18, of Far Rockaway, N.Y., on Feb. 22 touched off a series of congressional inspections into medical and housing facilities at Fort Dix..

The craft, how ever, will carry an auxiliary mo tor and provisions to be used in an emergency. The Lehi II will make the crossing with a history of al most as much trouble as her luckless sister. The most recent setback, an attachment by the Coast Guard for back fines, was cleared up when an Oakland man, Al Martin, paid off the as sessments, only to have the ship ground itself on a'mudflat, caus As We Live The Average Griper Is Usually Frustrated There are some people who seem to get real pleasure from gripinff. If others enjoy what what they are doing or say they like somethi ng, the griper at once finds fault with it. He seems to like things better if he can find fault Dr. Hurloek . with them. Naturally, when you can find fault with others or with what they are doing, it makes you feel superior. The more faults you can find, the more superior you can feel. Likewise, griping has great attention value, espec ially when others agree that the thing the griper complains about it fine. Being different always puts the person in the limelight. 2 But, are the advantages the person gets from griping enough to make, him happy and do they outweight the bad effects? The answer to both these questions is an emphatic "No". Griping may give the person temporary satisfaction, but like all tempor ary things, it must constantly be reinforced. No On Likes Griper Although people may pay at tention to him for a time, no one likes a griper. It certainly is unpleasant to be with a per son who never has anything to say. The perennial complainer soon discovers that people ig nore him and this makes him want to regain their attention, so he gripes even more than before. No one can be truly happy if he sees only the black side of everything. Nothing has any real value if all that is seen are the faults, never the good fea tures. The realization that peo ple do not like him can only add to the griper's, unhappiness. So, while the griper may seem to be having fun, he is, in re ality, an unhappy, frustrated person.

He was 19-year-old Craw ford Hartley, an amateur frog man, who told Martin his diving and fishing equipment might help supply the Lehi crew with food for the long trip. Baker said the youth had been accepted as a member of the crew, but that he Baker was awaiting the consent of the youth's parents. By ELIZABETH HURLOCK. PH.D. pie get from gossiping? I should think they would realize that it makes people dislike them.'! (A) As a matter of fact, people who gossip have little reason to know that people dislike them. Most people like to hear gossip, even though they may disap prove of the person who does the gossiping. As a result, they are only too eager to hear what the gossiper has to say. This as sures the gossiper of a certain degree of popularity, even though it is only superficial and temporary. . Letters: "Should 'parents read their children's letters? My parents claim that this is a par ent's right. I am 16 years old and resent this very much.' (A) You have every right to be annoyed when your parents read your mail without your permission. Parents of past gen erations used to feel that it was their privilege to open and read letters their children received. Today, most parents are willing to respect their children's pri vacy, especially when they reach the teen years. If you volunteer to read aloud the let ters you , receive from relatives or friends of the family, won't this satisfy your parents? Family boss: "Because my wife inherited some money from her father, she feels that she can be the boss of the family. I resent her bossy attitude very much." (A) There should be no "boss" in today's family. Instead, the family should be a' partnership arrangement. Are you sure that you have not tried to boss your wife in the past so that now that she has inherited some money, she feels independent enough to turn th tables on you? It would make a happier relationship in your family if neither you nor your wife tried to dominate the other. Try this and see if I am not right. - ' (Copyright 1955, General Features Corp.)
