I o o TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE As We Live Wayward Husbands Are Obligated For Support There are times when a per son must keep silent, regardless of personal cost. But, a time will come when this silence is no longer necessary.

Some years ago, I found out he was giving her beautiful gifts and money. How can a man be (r blind and trust his love to a woman who is not even truthful to him? I have been a loyal and good wife but my husband doesn't believe anything I say. When I told him what I. had O found out, he said I was making it up and that I have a bad mind. I don't know what to make of it or what to do." Mrs. N. P. (A) You do not say how long this affair has been going on or how old your children are. How ever, your reference to a "long time" would suggest it has been a period of years and your chil dren are now teeffegers if riot al ready grown up. For their sake,as well as that of your husband's family, you did the right thing not to break up your home and cause a scan dal.

Children Will Know If other people know about your husband's affair, the gifts and money he has given to this woman, sooner or later your in laws will know about it as will your children. They may already know and wonder why you have tolerated this situation as long as you have. Since your husband accuses you of lying, you must have proof of his affair before you can take any action to protect yourself. The people who tcld you should be asked to testify on your behalf if you decide to sue your husband for legal separa tion or divorce. Don't just leave him. He is obligated to support you and any minor children. See that he does. LETTERS FROM READERS Dependency: "Is a person who depends on others just lazy or why does he behave this way?" P. R. (A) A dependent person us ually is not lazy. He often feels ashamed of-himself for his de pendency, but he hasn't enough self-confidence to be willing or able to stand on his own feet. He turns to others for help because he feels inadequate. He is re sentful toward those on whom he has been dependent because he realizes they must think him a weakling. He would like to be independent but he simply can not face things alone. This shows he is lacking in the moral cour age to tackle things alone. Overworked mother: "My wife is overworked and, as a re sult is tense and. nervous most of the time. I try to help her as much as I can but she is a per fectionist who must have every thing just so. How can I make her see how foolish this is?" B. N. (A) The chances are you can not make your wife realize her sense of values is distorted, but perhaps your family doctor can. If he pointed out to her that she is heading for a nervous break down, which would cause a crisis in the family, and that her nervousness is causing tension for the whole family, he might make her realize a perfect home is far less important tharj a hap py family life. Fighting: "I find my children have been fighting much more both at home and with other children since we got our tele vision set. Does watching tele vision cause children io be more irritable?" Mrs. B. W. T. (A) There is no question about the fact that watching television for too long a time does make children tense and this, in turn, makes them quarrelsome. In ad dition, so many of the programs involve fighting in one form or another that children often get the idea fighting is the way to meet any problem. (COPYRIGHT 1955. GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)

Reyes is being tried' on a first degree murder charge for the fatal shooting of Appelgate, Oct. 24, while the Seattle youth was trying to elude captors after es caping from the Eugene jail. Corvallis police officer Wil liam C. Bottemiller, 29, said he saw Appelgate and Reyes strug gle in an alley behind a down town Corvams service station. He said he heard a series of shots and saw Appelgate slump to the ground.

Col. Paul V. Liles said Saturday he hoped to complete presentation cf his case by next Friday. Liles, 39, Birmingham, Ala., is charged with communist col laboration while a prisoner of war in "Korea. The court martial has been recessed until Monday when it enters its fourth week. Friday a defense witness testi fied Liles repeatedly said he would accept full responsibility for all propaganda broadcasts made by fellow prisoners of war. Chief Warrant Officer Dwight E. Cox, Los Angeles, said Liles deemed it necessary to go. along with the Korean Reds in order that Liles' mass escape plan might succeed. "I thought it was all right to go along with the Communists if it helped the prisoners escape," Cox testified. Cox denied under cross exam ination that Liles never received State Motor Pool Indicates Profit Salem (U.R) All state agen cies using motor pool cars will receive a 10 per cent discount on their cost of operating the automobiles as a result of a "comfortable" margin of profit in the state's garage, Harry S. Dorman, director of the Depart ment of Finance and Adminis tration, said Saturday. The discount applies to the November bill submitted by the motor pool to the state agencies and probably will continue, Dor man said. Dorman wrote the affected agencies: "The income from the 5-cent per mile charge for using the motor pool cars has been more than adequate to cover all mo tor pool ' expenses, Including overhead, administrative cost, depreciation and insurance. Since it was not the intention to builh up a considerable profit through the motor pool opera tion, your bill shows a 10 per cent across-the-board discount." The motor pool operation start ed in October, 1954. It was au thorized by the 195b Legislature.

Surplus Food May Be Released Soon Washington (U.R) The government is preparing to re lease thousands of tons of sur plus grain to church agencies for overseas relief, officials disclosed Saturday. Barring an unforseen obstacle, Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T, Benson probably will announce the action during the coming week. Agriculture department offi cials said Benson is taking a keen personal interest in the project as a result of urgent ap peals from religious leaders to "share our surplus" with less fortunate people abroad. Benson has discretionary au thorny, which Congress ap proved last year, to release all types of government-owned farm surpluses to voluntary re lief agencies for free distribu- tion to the needy overseas. So far, however, the Agriculture department has released only commodities which were in dan ger of spoiling in storage, mainly dairy products and cottonseed oil. A delegation representing Protestant, Catholic and Jewish relief agencies urged Benson at a meeting here last month to release 250,000 tons of wheat, 100,000 tons of corn products, and "0,000 tons of rice to fight the threat of "actual starvation" in many countries. Agriculture department offi cials had said previously that Benson was "sympathetic" to the request, but was not sure it ould be granted under depart ment policies forbidding any use of surplus commodities that would tend to displace normal commercial sales. Negro Girl Elected Iowa Sweetheart Iowa City, Iowa (U.R) Dora Lee Martin, a 17-year-old Negro girl from Houston, Tex., Saturday was named sweetheart of the University of Iowa cam pus. It was the first time the State University's male students, who choose the queen, had selected a girl of her race for the post. Miss Martin, by long-standing custom, reigned as "Queen of Queens" at the winter . formal dance last night, one of the uni versity's top social parties. The pretty, light-skinned girl, about five feet, six inches tall, was the only Negro of 29 candi dates for the honor. She was among seven girls entered by Currier hall, a woman's dormi tory.

A nationwide strike of United flight enigneers has hampered schedules since Oct. 23 and re sulted in brief flareups at Port land International airport Fri day. Mary Blake, public relations director of UAL at Seattle, said she expected schedules out of Portland would return to nor mal "after the injunction is granted." She said she could see "no possibility of its not being granted." A temporary anti picketing injunction was ob tained last week in Seattle, she said. Six United flights Friday were rerouted to avoid Port land when other . workers re fused to cross the engineers' picket line. Engineers . were joined by "sympathy" pickets from other unions briefly Fri day, most of them teamsters. Three flights were cancelled outright and passengers on 10 others were ferried to other air ports. Twenty-three flights were operated on schedule. Airline officials blamed Fri day's flareup on the unusually large number of Hollywood cel ebrities arriving in Portland for charity drives and the attendant publicity.
