I Young Moih9r Craves Adult Companionship It is natural that a person should want the companionship of those who "speak his own language," who have interests in common. (Q) "Before I married I went lo business and had some very good friends among the girls I Tr.'T worked wiin. We went out belonged to a together a lot, bowling club, a n d I always had someone to go lo the mov ies with. I worked until my baby was born nearly a year ago. Of course I love him dearly and wouldn't turn over his care lo anyone unless I had to, which I don't. But I do miss my old friends and the things we used to do. My husband's busi ness takes him out several even ings a week, so I am alone with lhe baby all day and many even ings a week, so I am afraid that this is going lo make me dis satisfied, and then I won't be a very good mother or wife. What would you suggest?" (A) I think you have already reached a state of dissatisfaction which you should take immedi ate steps to correct. First you must realize that you wanted marriage and a family, and that these require a different life pat- Dr. Herlock tern from that of the business woman. Arrange to have some of the companionship you used to en joy, while at the same time establishing new associates so you will have companionship with people whose interests are more related to your present life as homemaker. Keep up some of your old irienasnips ty inviting vour friends to your home some of the evenings when your husband is at work. You may not be able to go out to the movies or to bowl, but you could play cards or talk. Couldn't your husband stay with the baby one evening a week so you could go out with your old friends? Then, as they marry, you will have contacts with them and their husbands for a circle of "family friends." In addition, try to build up friendships with some of the married women in your neigh borhood. They will have inte rests similar to yours, now that you are a mother, and you will be able to see them much more often than you expect to see your former business friends. (COPYRIGHT 1955. GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) Writer Retells Tale of Terror 10 Years Ago As Plane Hit Empire State Building BADMINTON HAZARD Milwaukee (U.R) Patricia Fitzgerald, 24. suffered cuts on both feet while playing bad minton. A runaway power mow er zipped across the court and struck her. By OTTO E. STURM United Press Correspondent New York U.R; You're fil ing a United Press wire on a cloudy, muggy Saturday morn ing 10 years ago today. A few minutes before 10 o'clock you hear a muffled explosion. Distant thunder, you think. But somebody in the newsroon yells ' Look at the Empire State building!" You glance up and see what you won't forget. Flames are shooting out of the upper stories of the world's tall est building. A second later, the whole top of the structure is shrouded in thick smoke. Crowd Into Elevator In about 20 minutes you're in the Empire State lobby. Debris is crashing down elevator shafts. Somebody says all the ejevators have been knocked out. But you follow a couple of white-clad doctors and some firemen to another elevator bank and crowd into one. The elevator stops at the 67th floor.. That's the last stop right now for any elevator in this 102-story building. You take the stairs. At the 78th floor you see what happens when a two-engined air plane rams through the overcast into a skyscraper at four miles a minute. There's a gaping, fire blackened hole in the brick and concrete outside wall through which the rooftops of Manhat tan show in the haze. Engine Smashes Thru Building On the floor is a propeller blade from the Army B25 bomber. One of the plane's big engines is imbedded in the wall of a wrecked elevator shaft. The other smashed through the building and out the other side to an adjoining rooftop. There wasn't anybody on this floor when disaster struck. You go up to the 79th floor. Ironically, on this floor is the office of an organization en gaged in a work of mercy the War Relief Services of the Na tional Catholic Welfare Confer ence. Some two dozen persons, most of them young women, were working here when the bomber exploded just beneath them. Emergency cops are picking up burned and broken bodies. Still sitting, stiffly grotesque, at a desk facing a scorched type writer is what's left of a girl who never had a chance to get up before she was enveloped in flaming gasoline. On a burlap covered desk are two blackened torsos, later identified as those of the pilot and co-pilot of the plane. Saturday Quiet Day You call the office with the cold statistics, the stories of heroism, panic and mercy, and wonder: What if this had hap pened on any other weekday than Saturday, at a time when most offices in the building would be occupied and when the streets around 34th and 5th would be teeming with people. You hate to think how much you'd have to multiply this day's final toll of 14 dead and 26 injured. Ten years later, another ques tion comes to mind. Can it hap pen today with the strides made in aeronautical safety in the last decade? "Almost impossible." says Ed ward E. Slattery, Civil Aero nautics Board official in Wash ington. He said that with the precision approach radar now in stalled at LaGuardia, Idlewild and Newark airports no plane around New York would find it self as much off course and as low as the 913-foot altitude as the ill-fated bomber of July 28, 1945. On The Side By E. V. Durling (Distributed by King Future Syndicate. Inc.) Stupidity continued to prevail among too many book shop em ployees. Or perhaps it is just plain laziness or lack of interest in their work. A feminine sub scriber says that in a San Fran cisco book shop she inquired about the book titled "The Home Maker and Her Job." by Lillian Moller Gilbreth. The man told her no such book had ever been published. The fact is that the book is a classic of its kind and can be found in most public li braries. Doctor Gilbreth is one of this country's most distin guished career women. In addi tion to having a successful ca reer, she reared 12 children. So she should certainly know some thing about homemaking. Her life was the inspiration of the film titled "Cheaper by the Dozen." Asides Not long ago I asked why there were not illuminated courses on which regular golf could be play ed at night. Am informed there is such a course at Pinehurst, N.C. ... In Dublin, the salary of a bartender is the equivalent of S23 a week ... It was none other than Arthur "Bugs" Baer who wrote that touching ballad titled "When I'm With You I'm Lonesome." Horses and Women The most difficult wives to handle, train and dominate are those with green-gray eyes. How ever, no green-gray eyed woman is ever really happy unless dom inated by her spouse. Females with freckles are the most pro lific mothers. Freckled women rarely have less than four chil dren and all the children have freckles. Women who change their hair coloring from brunette to bright red are changeable by nature. They change houses, they change the arrangement of the furniture and they change hus bands. A synthetic redhead who has been married only once is a rarity. Asking Queries from Clients. Q. Who is your favorite film star now? Some redhead, I suppose. A. I am not a fickle fellow. My fa vorite is still Greer Garson. Af ter her Kay Kendall . . . Q. How, large a ship was the Mayflower, which brought the Pilgrim fa thers to this country? A. The Mayflower was a 183 ton ship. Length, 90 feet. Breadth, 26 feet. Objection Note a reference to "Sophia Loren, buxom Italian film star." I strongly object to the use of "buxom" to describe Sophia. Is that any way to describe a young woman whose male appeal is so powerful that she has been nick named "The Sizzler"? Certain ly not. The dictionary defini tion of buxom is "plump and comely." Sophia is truly comely. But definitely not plump. She is superbly streamlined. Briefly - The King Charles spaniel is about to replace the French poodle as the most popular pet dog . . . How interested is your dentist in the history of his pro fession? Does Jie know that the Old Hickory book shop in Man hattan specializes in old and rare books on the history of den tistry? Record Who do you think a waitress at Rosoff's in Manhattan says gave her the largest tip of her career? Why, Sir, it was Joe DiMaggio who, following a lunch eon, gave her a S5 tip! Mr. Di Maggio's luncheon companion on this occasion was Marilyn Mon roe.

Berry said spray should contain three pounds of lead arsenate per 100 gallons or one tablespoon in two gallons of water. Where aphids are present, Berr said, black leaf 40 should be added using one pint per 100 gallons or one tablespoon per two gal lons. The third cover spray should be applied to pear and apple trees, Berry said, using one table spoon of 50 per cent DDT in one gallon of water for coddling moth control. For aphid mite and pear pshylla control, he said, add one tablespoon of malathion. Berry said spray may have to be repeated on apple trees about Aug. 25 and warned tree growers to spray trees thoroughly. in order named: "Lord Jeffrey Amherst," "Whiffenpoof Song" (Yale) and "Drink a Highball at Nightfall" (Wesleyan). . .
