Martha Seven years ago, when I was 18, I married a man 15 years older than myself. I had been going with a boy oi my own age all through high school and expected to marry him, but when I met Frank I fell head over heels in love with him. He look ed much younger than his age, yet was so mature. My parents objected to the marriage, but I eloped with Frank. Now I see how right my par ents were. Frank is now a man of 40 and ready to settled into middle age. I am full of energy, although I have two children and haven't had an easy time of things. Frank is terribly domin eering and tries to boss me on every step. He is so set in his ways that I can never budge him once he's made up his mind. I'm terribly unhappy and want CHERRIES Montmorency Pie D. N. DOW - Box 56 Coker Buns Rd. Phone 2-7865 CAP GUNS PIUS 1000 CAPS WITH ANY GAS PURCHASE FORTUNE S. Central at S. Riverside (QjC BUYING!

All letters ars held to leave him, while . I am still young and attractive enough to have another go at life, but now my mother, who has always hat ed Frank, doesn't want me to leave him. I need her help to do it, for I must have her to take care of the children while I go to work. Mrs. K. M Much of what Martha says about her husband is true and I disliked his domin eering ways a long time ago, but I realize that Martha brings out the worst in Frank. She hurts him constantly by referring to his age and treating him like an old man. Frank has many good points as a husband and I doubt whether Martha has the sense to do any better for herseif the sec ond time. They were not married in our faith, but if only for the childrens' sake they should stick together. The Council: It is obvious that the 18-year-old Martha, who was knocked for a loop by the atten tions of an older man, hasn't grown up in the slightest. Even an 18-year-old ought to have bet ter sense than to goad a man with the epithet of "middle age." If Martha had any desire to make a success of her marriage, she would realize what her mo ther senses that it is her child ishness that brings out the dom ineering impulses in her hus band. It is possible that a man who marries a girl so much younger does have the domineer ing impulse to a large extent, but FOR RENT APT. Largs quiet apr., 1 -block from W.

Calif. iU.Ri The Air Mail Pioneers, an organiza tion of the airmen and ground men who pioneered the air mail from 1918 to 1927, will hold a national conventirn here Sept. 13 and 14. More than 250 aerial pioneers are expected to attend the convention which will be a highlight of Aviation Week. this could be toned down by an emotionally mature partner who shows her husband that she knows what she is about and that she loves him. Martha is quite mistaken about her husband being ready to settle into middle age. With a young wife he undoubtedly wants to be younger than his years and could be so if she gave some of that abundance of ener gy toward creating a happy mar riage instead of tearing her hus band down. Martha and her husband need individual guidance from a cler gyman or qualified marriage counselor. Martha really wants to throw off the responsibilities of marriage and should heed her mother's warning that she is in no way qualified to do better at a "another go at life."

That was the day, you will hardly remember, before the in troduction of the school bus and the 40-hour work week; those were the years when families were large, and family washings were done by hand in water drawn from a well and heated on a wood range. It was an era when reading was done by lamp light, or even candlelight. A group of books popular in that day and age is now on ex hibit in the Medford Public library. Among them is one, the title of which may be one clue to a source of time for reading pleasure: "The Sunday at Home, a Family Magazine for Sabbath Reading." This periodical, of which the library owns one bound volume, was published in 1858 by the Religious Tract so ciety of London. Other material suitable for "Sabbath reading" is contained in "The Good Child's Library," a selection of poems on the lives of the saints which children read a century ago. Games Books Livelier recreations, perhaps reserved for week days, are sug gested in "Juvenile Sports," published in 1850. "I Spy," "Twirl the Plate," and "Blind man's Buff" are described in another handbook of games of the period. The family probably wept to gether over the brightly illus trated little copy of "Uncle Tom's Cabin, or, Life Among the Lowly," published nearly 100 years ago in London. An old copy of "The Arabian Nights." "Chatterbox," and "De lightful Story Book," are also included in the current exhibit. Tastes in reading have chang ed in 100 years. Today's indi vidual is likely to look for read ing he can do "on the run." But the fact that nearly 140,000 books were drawn during the past 12 months from the Med ford Public library and its Jack son county agencies indicates that many busy persons still find time to read.

Judge Alfred T. Sulmonetti said provisions of the law were so broad and sweeping that they violated the constitutional guar antee of free speech. He made the ruling in a case of Kenneth L. and Roberta A. Waymire, who are building a house in Clackamas county. They had sought an injunction against the Portland Building Trades council and several in dividual unions for picketing ' their operations. The defendant ! council had countered with an J injunction suit in a controversy j over wages and working condi tions. Judge Sulmonetti said the fed-' eral Taft-Hartley law contains a prohibition of secondary boy- j cotts but that it has protective , guarantees to prevent its en- i forcement from becoming a cen sorship of speech and of the press. He said the Oregon statute contains no such guarantees. . A portion of the law, enacted in 1947, had been declared un constitutional in 1948 by Circuit Judge Charles W. Redding in the so-called Whistling Pig case. Judge Sulmonetti's ruling dealt with the law from a different aspect.
