The Family Council Bernice She read my private letters. Fred I can't accuse my mother. Bernice I have good reason, to believe my mother-in-law has Deen reading some private cor respondence that goes back quite a few years and that niv a false and unfavorable impres sion of me. Before I married I had been dating with another man who wrote me some wild letters. Very foolishly, I kept mese letters, and even more foolishly I keDt them whre they were easily acces- siDie. inere is nothing about these letters that is secret from my husband, and I have no other secrets from him. We have been living in the Two Men Drown In Boat Wreckage Long Beach, Calif. (U.R) Two crewmen drowned yester day and three others are missing in the wreckage of the 87-foot fishing boaf Western Explorer which went aground and smash ed to pieces on rocks about 200 miles off the tip of Baja Califor nia, the Coast Guard reported. Coast Guard officials here aid seven memebrs of the 12 man crew, including Captain Frank Manaka, of Wilmington, Calif., were rescued and talron aboard the fishing boat Anthony M. Bodies of the two victims were recovered by the Anthony M shortly after the ill-fated ves sel whipped aground on deso late Socorras island. The typhoon-like weather pre vented the Coast Guard from sending rescue planes to the stricken boat as winds reached 80 miles an hour. The Navy ice breaker, the USS Burton Island was expected to reach the scene late today and brine the survi vors back to port. Manaka radioed from the An thony M that names of the vic tims would be withheld pend ing notification of next of kin The boat was from San Pedro, Calif., and had been nart nf a fishing fleet working off the Mexican coast. home of my husband's parents until such time as we can set up our own home. We seemed to be eettine alon? fin until quite recently, when there was suun a marKea cnange in my mother-in-law's attitude for the worse, that I realized something serious must have occurred tc change her attitude. The other dav I 'wau snino through my things and noticed that my pile of letters must have been tamnered with. T rpaiiVo then that my mother-in-law had been cleaning in the closet where I kept the letters and that, see ing them, her curiosity must have been aroused. I can understand hnur ihou letters must have disturhpri hr but how can I ever discuss this awkward problem with her and clear her mind? Fred If mv mothpr rpart those letters, how can I dismiss the matter with her without quarrelling with her? She is certain to resent anv imnlioH charge that she was snooping. I feel my wife should rmt have kept these letters at all, and certainly should not have kept them in the closet. I am not at all sure my mother's attitude nas become hostile toward Ber nice, and I do not want to risk quarrelling with her and hrino. ing this unpleasant business into tne open unnecessarily. Sinking Clerks ''Called To Meeting Portland 4U.P.) All food store clerks affected by the strike that has hampered or curtailed oper ations as most of Portland's chain groceries were called to auena a meeting at the Labor Temple today. George Lightowler, secretary of the union, in issuing notice of the meeting would not reveal its purpose. ie said that union members who normallv wnnld be picket duty at the time would be withdrawn from the picket lines to attend the meeting. Meanwhile, Paul Hansen, in ternational representative of the AtLi-nu grocery clerks union, aia tnai tne union is preparing to sue some emDlovers who have "locked out" union members in the current strike. The union struck at nnlv Safeway stores Saturday. Sev eral otner cnain store outlets ent their union employees home that same day, contending that a strike against one of their number was considered to be a strike against all of them. Sonja Henie, Husband Divorced in Florida West Palm Beach, Fla., U.R) Ice-skating queen Sonja Henie nd socialite Winthrop Gardiner have been granted an alimony free divorce. The Circuit court here Mon day granted Gardiner the di vorce from the blonde Norwe gian-born skater on the ground of "desertion and mental cruel ty." Gardiner charged that mother-in-law trouble and his wife's refusal to give up her career wrecked their marriage. His suit complained that "her moth er was with her all the time . . . we had only two weeks to live alone .together, from Sept. 15, 1949, the date of our marriage until we separated in 1952." The three major varieties of trout sought by American fly fishermen are the brook, the brown and the rainbow. The Council: Fred is right in Deing unwilling to accuse his momer of having read these letters. At the same timp it i important for the future of the family that this mystery be cieareo up. The wisest course, ncrhsni would be for Bernice to go to ner mother-in-law for advice. She might tell her mother-in-law that she found thp lottce v.j been tampered with, and express the fear that her hnshand fcorf read them. She might, at this point, ask her mother-in-law to read the letters and licton her explanation. on how to explain the letters to ner husband. By this method. defend herself without having to accuse ner mother-in-law of prying. Since Bernice acknnrl. edges that she should not have preserved these troublesome let ters and certainly should not have allowed them to lie around she should be willing to employ mis suDteriuee for thp nnmnto t L- r - oi avoiding, a troublesome and painiui situation. Bernice should make an of fort to disabuse her mother-in-law of any false ideas shp -mav have about her past. The uncor rected impression can work harm to all concerned.
