OPEN EVERY Bl&HT 'TIL CHRISTMAS m'TOA WTO O O Plane in Trouble Over Ocean Makes Honolulu Landing Honolulu (U.R) A crippled DC4 Slide Airways plane with 42 passengers and a crew of seven landed here safely today after reporting itself in trouble 400 miles from its destination. The plane, flying from Travis Air Force Base, Calif., to Hawaii, sent a message saying "exces sive fuel consumption" was forc ing it to lose speed. The four-engine transport, be lieved to be under military charter, bucked a driving rain storm and headwinds that forced it to fly at a ground speed of 133 miles an hour during the last part of its journey. An SB29 based at Hickam Field escorted the plane the last 150 miles. The Coast Guard sent the cutter Bering Strait in case the plane had to ditch. The plane was .originally scheduled to land -at midnight. It arrived at 2:40 a.m. Pilot Harry Munson of San Fernando, Calif., said he arrived with 275 gallons of fuel remain ing, or enough for one and one-half hours flying time. He said he radioed for an intercept because his main con cern was with storm conditions and the possibility of even great er headwinds. The plane was scheduled to take off later today with a new crew for Tokyo. Most of the passengers were Air Force personnel. Six states Maryland, Geor gia, North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia derived their names from form er British rulers. As We Live Don't Always Remain A Slave To Dependents There is a limit beyond which no woman should make sacri fices for her family. (Q) "I was left a widow 14 years ago with three sons. Now two of them aie in high school and the oldest, who is 22 is working. M y husband was an invalid for four years be fore his death. I had to take care of him, the house, and the children. He left a small pension for me but I have had io work all these years to keep the home together. My sons have all worked after school and during vacations so we managed and I never had to have any help from charily. They have been good boys in the sense that they never have been in any trouble and they have al ways been willing to earn what they could to help me. "Now I am at the breaking point and I need advice badly. -I have had a lot of trouble with my sons. Every one of them has the habit of looking for an argu ment no matter what I say or do. I have tried everything, being nice and putting my foot down, but no matter what I do or say, I'm always wrong. They com plain that the food's no good, but I have always prided myself on my good cooking and baking. Then they complain about ray looks, say I'm not stylish enough and they are ashamed of my ap pearance. They find fault with everything. I told my oldest son to get out if he didn't like things but he just sticks around, find ing fault with everytthing. I think the two younger boys are By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. getting it from him. What would you suggest?" Mrs. P.R.C. (A) I suggest you call the three boys together and talk to them like the proverbial "Dutch uncle." Tell them of the struggle you have had to keep a home for them all these years and the sacrifices in health, energy, and lpoks you have had to make for them. Then end by saying you now realize these sacrifices have been unappreciated and that you intend to make no more sacri fices for them. Tell them they can get their own meals, buy ing the food from their earnings. Let them wash their clothes, clean their rooms, and do all the work you have done for them at home. Take your earnings to buy some new clothes, get a perman ent, and have some fun. You have been too much of a slave for your sons and the time has come to think of yourself. They will appreciate you more if you do. (COPYRIGHT 1955, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.) Tuesday, December 20, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE To Ask More Funds For Atomic Vessels Tokyo U.R) U. S.
