SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Monday, April 23, 1956
f' 1
CUSTODY BATTLE Mrs. Melitta Real of San Diego,
Calif., attempts to embrace crying daughter, Ursula, 13,
during police-arranged reunion in Voelklingen, Saar.
Looking on in background is the child's foster mother,
Mrs. Murice Ferry. The child remained silent while Mrs.
Real implored her to return with her to the U. S. Mrs.
Real, a Yugoslav working as a forced laborer for the
Nazis in a Saar steel mill when Ursula was born, indicated
she will file suit for custody of the child if the foster
parents insist upon keeping her.
The Family Council
Editor's not: The Family Council consists of a judfre. a psychiatrist, a
newspaper editor, a women's paire editor and two newspaper writers. These
consult with clergymen of all faiths and denominations. All letters are held
In complete confidence.
Mrs. J.M.L. Our college,
daughter has strayed.
Jane His wife won"t divorce
him.
Mrs. J.M.L. Our daughter
Jane is in a terrible mess and
has given me a great deal of
grief. She is a college student,
and I have every reason to be
lieve that she is having an affair
with a married man. I am afraid
of a tragic outcome, and I dare
not tell my husband, as he
would probably disown her in
a moment.
There is a boy who is every
thing a girl could want in a
husband and who is crazy about
Jane. I have been pleading with
Jane to accept him and get mar
ried, but she will not hear of it.
If I could think of a good
reason for making Jane quit
college and come home, I would
get her away from this married
man, but my husband is set on
her completing college, and I
dare not tell him the truth.
Jane I am in love with a
man who loves me. I do not con
sider him a married man, and
he does not consider himself
marrier. Here is a woman who
refuses to divorce him only
because she wants a price he
cannot meet.
I am not living with him and
I am serious about finishing
college and going into a profes
sion so that I can help him meet
his problems. My mother found
out about a few intimate occa
sions, and she is trying to make
a tragedy out of the situation.
I think it is immoral for mc
to marry a man who loves me
when I feel I belong to another.
I think my mother should stop
being tragic and leave me alone.
The Council: This mother is
taking far too much on herself.
She has no right attempting to
force here daughter into a fake
marriage, and she has even less
right to usurp her husband's
place as Jane's father.
He should be told what is go
ing on. Mrs. JM.L. thinks he
is too excitable to know. She is
probably wrong. In any event.
Playwright MacArlhur
Dies in NY Hospital
New York (U.R) Playwright
Charles MacArlhur,' who im
mortalized the roaring '20's in
the roistering newspaper play,
The Front Page." died at a New
York hospital Saturday with his
actress wife, Helen Hayes, at his
beaside. He was 60.
MacArthur, whose own youth
ful escapades rivaled those of the
characters in his boisterous
drama, entered the hospital last
Tuesday, suffering from nephrit
is, a kidney ailment, and severe
anernia.
Miss Hayes, his wife of 28
years, had cancelled a television
appearance because fo his ill
"ness. She was with him almost
constantly until the end.
DORISH SPIKED
Baltimore (U.R) Relief
pitcher Harry Dorish of the Bal
timore Orioles was expected to
be out of action Tor two or three
games until spike wounds in his
right heel are healed. Dorish
was spiked by Washington
catcher Clint Courtney in a play
at first base yesterday and the
injury required 12 stitches.
An average farm in Nebraska
has about 1,000 acres.
he has a right to know about his
daughter, and he would be de
frauded if decisions were made
without his knowledge.
If Jane were told by both
parents that she must break up
with this married man, she
would have before her an ex
ample of parental unity that she
has not had up till now. Since
it seems she cannot be trusted
at college, then she should be
brought home.
Jane may possibly be too far
gone to be saved from this situ
ation, but her mother is not
much help now when she con
fronts her daughter with the
picture of an emotionally un
stable father and tries to force
a marriage that is perhaps as
immoral as the affair she is try
ing to break up.
When one parent usurps . the
authority of another on the pre
text that the other is incompe
tent or unstable, this fact alone
tends to undermine a child's con
fidence in the wisdom of either
parent.
Jane has a secret relationship
that violates the moral code, but
her mother is offensively self
righteous in hiding this vital
matter from her husband. She
should start setting things in
order by straightening out her
self and setting a good example.

Laughs of the Day . . .
The bankroll of the father of
the Dride takes a terrific beat
ing in many weddings. However,
young papas with a female child
under 2 can get protection
against a future financial set
back vthen their daughters mar
ry. A "wedding insurance" pol
icy is available. The father
starts payments when the, girl
is 2 or less. Then, if she marries
at 19 or older, the insurance
company will pay all the wed
ding expenses.
Asking
Queries from cliens. Q. Is it
a fact Voltaire drank 80 cups
of coffee a day? What is the
record for daily consumption of
coffee? A- Have no record of
Voltaire as a coffee drinker. Nor
any world's record on coffee
drinkers Most coffee consumed
in one day by one man with
which I am familiar is that Da
mon Runyon averaged about 40
cups daily . . . Q. Which game
is most played throughout the
world, basketball or soccer foot
ball? A. It is soccer which is
played regularly in over 80 na
tions. So They Say
All females are fond of flat
tery but Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20)
women like it most. The easiest
of all women for a smart fellow
to fool are Aries girls . . . Leo
(July 24-Aug. 23) women are in
love with love. They are so
eager to be in love that fre
quently they choose the wrong
man. That is why so many first
marriages o Leos fail. Leo wo
men usually have two children,
no more, no less. Or, so say the
stargazers.
Passing By
Ethel Earrymore. First lady
of the theater. Has been a star
since she was 21. Her first star
ring vehicle was that quaintly
titled play "Captain Jinks of the
Horse Marines." It was in a
play titled '"Sunday," that Miss
Barrymore first voiced the cele
brated line, "That's all there is;
there isn't any more." She spoke
this line after finishing the
reading of a letter. The play
was about a girl named Sunday
who, by the terms of a will, was
left in the care of three west
ern cowpunchers.
Please Note
Can you name the best cus
tomer of the United States Post
Office? It is Sears, Roebuck.
That celebrated and extremely
prosperous organization was
started 70 years ago by Rich
ard Sears, who was 23 at the
time, and a station master at
North Redwood, Minn. Sears be
gan selling watches by mail or
der on the "side. Perhaps you,
too, could start selling some
thing by mail order on the side
holding your salaried job until
well-established. There are a
number of excellent books av
ailable on how to start and man
age a mail order business. In
quire at the nearst public li
brary. Among The Married
When an argument struts be
tween man and wife, what is
most likely to increase its in
tensity? My belief is that when
a heated argument starts be
tween a husband and wife noth
ing serves to make the discus
sion more heated than for either
of the battling pair to say, "don't
shout," or "don't scream." When
such a remark is made, it is
then that the shouting and
screaming really begin.
Profitable Place
Am asked the surname of the
owner of that justly celebrated
Sixth Ave., Manhattan restaur
ant of the yesteryear known
simply as "Jacks." It was Dun-
stant. II is probable no Manhat
tan restaurant of the Dresent.
not even the fabulous "Twenty-
One Club, is as profitable a
venture as "Jack's" was. When
Jack Dunstan passed awav he
left an estate of $7,000,000. In
cidentally, the specialty of
Jack s was Irish bacon and
scrambled eggs.
Healthy Baby
Following the victory of a 15
month old infant in a "Health
iest Baby," contest, his verv
proud mother was asked what
she led him. She said, "plenty
of dried milk, cod liver oil anrl
orange juice and he has never
nad a sick day in his life."

RPM 10-30 Speciarcuts engine drag to increase usable power up to 15
This new kind of oil combines the free-flowing qualities
of a light grade oil with the protective strength of a heavy
grade to cover every range of motor oil performance
from SAE grade 10W through 30. The result is less
"drag" between moving engine parts. And this means...
Extra usable power up to 15 more for hills,
passing, pick-up in traffic.
Full-time protection of vital engine parts. Free
flowing "RPM" goes to work the instant you touch the
starter. Completely lubricates hydraulic valve lifters.
Gas and oil savings up to 1 gallon of gas in every 8,
oil consumption improved as much as 33 compared
with light grade motor oils.
More knock-free acceleration "RPM" fights
off cylinder-head deposits that cause knock, improves
octane performance.
Longer battery life because your engine turns over
faster and easier for instant starting.
Improved performance in all seasons, all climates.
Meets requirements of high-compression engines.
