Martha My husband is ter
ribly domineering.
Mrs. K.M. Martha brings out
the worst in Frank.
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

denominations.
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

national conventirn here Sept.

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."

News About Books
From the Library
By MISS HELEN WEBSTER
Medford Librarian
There was a time, 50 to 100
years ago, when almost everyone
had time to read.
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. Did you get your
share?
The library's exhibit case has
now been repaired and furnished
with a secure lock, and is avail
able to individuals or groups

Birthdays, Fathers Honored
By HELGA MITCHELL
Applegate-Jacksonville A
party honoring Mrs. Margaret
Nussbaum on her 71st birthday,
and Marion Couch on his 68th
birthday, together with Father's
day celebrations, was held June
23 at the home of Mr. and

priest, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn
France and their son, Mr. and

three children, Mrs. Verna Suth
erlin, Miss Bonnie Couch, and
H. A. Turnbough. The honored
guests were given a card and
handkerchief shower, and home
made ice cream and cake were
served.
Mr. and Mrs. Don O'Brien and
their son, Michael Allen of Port
land, are spending their two
week vacation in this vicinity,
and are visiting their relatives,
Mr. and Mrs. Jack O'Brien, Mr.
and Mrs. Rolland Smith, Mrs. Ef
fie Casebolt of Medford, and
Jim O'Brien. The Don O'Briens
recently purchased a new home
in Portland.
Services at the Ruch Commu
nity church today include Sun

parents.
Mrs. Mansel Milam, who is
temporarily living in a one room
house until their new home is

of the confusion, she sighed.
Boycott Law Ruled
Unconstitutional
Portland (U.R) A Circuit
judge ruled Thursday that Ore
gon's law against secondary boy
cott was unconstitutional.
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.
