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.

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. Almost Confidential

Filbert Moth Spray
Advised by Agent
Owners of filbert nut trees
infected with filbert moth should
spray as soon as possible, Don
Berry, Jackson county horticul
tural agent, has announced.
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.

FUTURE PLANNED
Portland, Me. (U.R) Edward
S. Hall, 92, who has been a

had to buy a new press for his
printshop.
BOSS TO EMPLOYEE
Seymour, Conn. (U.R) Rob
ert T. Miner resigned as chair
man of the school board, ex
plaining he'd like to become a
teacher. The board fulfilled his
request.
