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

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.
