SIX JigSDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, December 7, 1955 As We Live Train Husband to Assist With Burden Of Housework The person who wants and expects others to wait on him and be available for his every whim makes slaves out of those who live with him. (Q) "Last June, I . married a man of 29, six years my senior and the only child of doting par ents. His moth er literally worships the ground he walks on and has been his willing slave ever since he was born. Now my hus band expects the same of , ii I f ' -a 1 Dr. Hisrlock me. He drops his clothes on the floor and expects me to hang them up as his mother always did. While I am getting break fast, he will call me upstairs half a dozen times to find his socks, tie.HPr some other article of clothing. While I am getting dinner, he wants me to sit down in the living room and 'keep him company'. But, if his meal isQiot ready on time, he accuses me of being inefficient. After dinner he $s annoyed if I leave him alone while I clear off the table and do the dishes. L.H.B. "I am expecting a baby this winter and I don't see how I am By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. going to manage everything if I have to continue to wait on my husband hand and foot, as he has expected ever since we were married." (A) You simply cannot man age a home and baby if you take time out to amuse your husband and wait on him as if he were helpless. The day is not long enough. Now is the time to bring about a reform, not after the baby ar rives. Point out to your hus band that a wife must follow a schedule just as a businessman must. Then show him your schedule. Point out, also, you have enough work already without having to pick up and find his clothes for him. Start training him to do these and other things for himself. He is quite capable if he will If he wants you companion ship and you should be glad he does suggest he sit down in the kitchen and chat with you when you are preparing a meal or do ing dishes. Then, gradually, ask him to help you so you can be free to sit down and give him your individual attention. (COPYRIGHT 1955. GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)

FUEL CO. 26 West iMain Ph. 3-15:6 401 South Fir Ph. 2-4449 Bronze Statue of Chris! Planned on Italian Mountain Rome (U.P.) Dedicated to world peace, a huge bronze stat ue of Jesus Christ is planned for erection on top of Monte Cavo, an extinct crater of a volcano overlooking Rome. The statue wil be so large that the right arm, raised in a blessing to the world, will con tain a chapel where several hundred faithful may worship within sight of the Eternal City. The sacred monument will measure 328 feet in height and is claimed to be the largest in the world. It will be twice as high as the Statue, of Liberty and will minimize .the famous Christ of the Andes which stands close to the border be tween Chile and Argentina. The site of the statue will be on the spot where the Cartha- genian general, H a n n l b al, pitched his camp after routing the Roman Legions during the Second Punic War over 2,000 years ago. Monte Cavo is 2,460 feet high and 20 miles south of Rome. It is close to Castelgandolfo, sum mer residence of the Popes. The projectors of the religious monument belong to a group called Association for Prosper ity and Peace Among Peoples. They point out that they are ab solutely non-political. The association, which in cludes leading Italian professors, doctors, lawyers and architects, will appeal to colleagues and faithful around the world to collect the funds for the monu ment which will cost several million dollars. Rich Catholics will be called upon for aid. The president of the associa tion is a well-known Roman law yer, Giuseppe Rizzo. He hopes that the Pope will inaugurate the statue which will take sev eral years to build. A small model of the project already has been approved by the association and another larger test model will be made before work ac tually begins. The 328-foot statue will stand on a pedestal 137 feet high. In comparison, the Statue of Liber ty is 151 feet high on a 154-foot pedestal. The enormous figure, work of the Roman sculptor, Vincenzo Torre, will be of bronze with a hollow interior divided into var ious sections. Some of the sections will con tain galleries of religious works of art, such as paintings, sculp tures and mosaics. The gigantic cross which Christ will hold in his left hand will contain obser vation galleries from which vis itors will be able to see the Med iterranean on clear days. A number of powerful eleva tors will run visitors from the pedestal to the top of the statue a total of 465 feet. The pedestal of the monument will contain reception halls, administration offices, a motion picture theater, a department for the mainten ance of the statue, shops', stores and a museum which will be called the Museum of the Civil ization of Peoples. Urban Renewal Laws In Wider Adoption Chicago (U.R) Four states have adopted urban redevelop ment or urban renewal laws this year,' making 36 states and five territories that now have such laws, the Public Administration Clearing House reports. The state legislatures of Kan sas, Georgia, Oklahoma and No Dakota passed laws allowing public agencies to use the power of eminent domain ;to acquire blighted areas for re,-sale to pri vate developers. Kansas and Georgia corrected unconstitutional or unworkable provisions in previous laws, and Oklahoma granted urban renew al powers to cities over 225,000 population, thus limiting the ac tion to Oklahoma City. Enabling bills lost out this year in Iowa, New Mexico, Tex as, Utah, Vermont and Washing ton. The other six states that do not have such laws are Flor ida, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming. Tibetan Ghost Traps At Stanford University Stanford (U.R) Stanford University possesses the first complete collection of Tibetan "ghost traps" known to have been taken out of Asia. The man who brought the col lection to the university is Dr. Frederic Spiegelberg, a profes sor of Indian and Himalayan cul ture. The traps in general resemble TV antennae with multicolored threads and tufts of wool criss crossing on a wooden frame. In Tibet the traps are mounted on rooftops and are believed to en snare dangerous ghosts. Dr. Spiegelberg's set of 14 traps was made for him by the Buddhist monks of the Enchay Monastery in the Himalayas, un der the guidance of the Rinzing Lama. : . Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Aline Mosby Hollywood (U.R) The year's vital statistics for 1955 life in Hollywood are drawing to a close and this time ptmid and the divorce court fought almost to a draw. Not one lav ish w e d d i ng kept the cater ers and auto graph h o u nds busy in the cinema city. But a few quiet weddings and unscheduled elope weddings and unscheduled elopements kept romance from being a total off-screen flop. One of the year's biggest mar riage stories came when Clark Gable an Kay Spreckels eloped in July. 'x The bobby-soxers had to find another young bachelor idol aft er Rock Hudson wed the pretty secretary of his agent, Phyllis Gates. Debbie, Eddie Drew Talk After an on-off engagement that had movie-goers either yawning or anxious, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher be came man and wife in a subdued ceremony at a New York resort. And Yvonne De Carlo, one of Hollywood's last bachelor girls, finally said I do's with stunt man Robert Morgan. Jan With ers, Lucy Marlow, Colleen Mil ler, Jarma Lewis, Sheree North and Nancy Kelly were other 1955 brides. Betty Hutton wed record ex ecutive Alan Livington shortly after she marched from a di vorce court with a decree from dance director Charles O'Cur- ran. But other marriages were splitting just as fast. Jack "Dragnet" Webb put down his badge to wed Dorothy Towne in January. Last month she saw her lawyers about a separation. Rita Hayworth walk ed out on husband No. 4, croon er Dick Haymes. Several Marriages End Linda Christian' ended her marriage to Tyrone Power and took home a million-dollar set tlement. Mrs. Victor Mature cornered half that amount when she was untied from her brawny husband. Mrs. Sterling Hayden and Mary Astor won divorces. Both Edward G. Robinsons Jr. and Sr. saw their marriages falter, with the son's being dis solved in divorce. Separations were also admitted - by Gloria Grahame and Cy Howard,: the Dean Martins, Vivian Blaine, Jean Peters and Aldo Ray and Jeff Donnell. Biggest News Saddest But the biggest news in Hol lywood's 1955 was the saddest a record number of deaths among younger members of the film colony. James Dean, a new 24-year-old , star was killed in the crash of his sports car. Heart attacks claimed John Hodiak and Carmen Miranda, Robert Frances headed for star dom after "The Caine Mutiny," lost his life in the crash of a small airplane. The world was saddened when beautiful Suzan Ball died of cancer. On the brighter side, babies arrived for Pier Angeli, Jan Sterling, Judy Garland, Eve Ma rie Saint, Mrs. Robert Taylor, the Kirk Douglases and the Guy Madisons. WRONG METHOD v. s Orange, Conn. (U.R) When police stopped Miss Mary M. Thom, 22,, for speeding, they learned her sports -car had no speedometer.
