Mary Pickford and her spouse
Buddy Rogers are to spend the
summer in Majorca. That, of
course, is the game island where
Frederic Chopin and George
Sand (Mme. Duvenant) went to
spend a romantic interlude.
Mme. Duvenant brought along
her two young children. She
was 34 at the time. Chopin was
28. This celebrated pair of lov
ers only spent 98 days in Major
ca. It was in the winter. The
weather was terrible. It rained
nearly every day. Was also cold.
And the house heating was bad.
The climate nearly killed Cho
pin. Even Mme. Duvenant's love
couldn't keep him warm.
Passing By

rl the New York theatre. Can

trical fan.

strument? A. The shophar. Q

Says Sh
As for Frenchmen being great
great lovers, I can't see them,"
says a young woman of Manhat
tan, who has recently returned
from Paris. "Most of them are
too short and nearly all have a
fondness for garlic that ruins
what might be a romantic mo
ment." Among lh Married
How many hours a week does
your wife 'spend handling the
housekeping? The claim is the
average wife spends 80 hours a
week doing her household tasks.
That's too long. If your, wife is
an 80-hour a week worker you
better go to her rescue. Maybe
she doesn't understand efficien
cy. Has no system. Takes too
many steps. Get her a copy of
Lillian Gilbreth's book "The
Home Maker and Ker Job."
Watch her while she works. Put
a pedometer on her. See if you
can make some suggestions that
will lessen the number of steps
she takes. More of this vital
matter anon. The working week
of the housewife must be short
ened. Ask your wife what she
thinks a fair working week
would be for a home manager.
By. the way, what are the six
best housekeeping labor saving
gadgets? Have you all of them
at your house?
Over Ther
Shortly after Jockey Sir Gor
don Richards was knighted, he
was asked, "Do the fans call
you Sir Richard?" He answer
ed, "At times, but when I lose
on a favorite they still call me
the same old names."
Pleas Not
Dishwashers in restaurants
are now frequently referred to
as "culinary department assist
ants." Dog catchers are styled
"canine control officers." Those
workers once called "soda jerk
ers" are now referred to as
fountaineers." However, bar
tenders are still called bartend
ers. Some want to have a more
dignified name. How about "bar
steward"? Not so good. What
about "maitre de bar"? Not so
good either. I'll ke;p trying to
think of something.
The new Ohio turnpike, which
runs 241 miles from the Penn
sylvania to Indiana border, saves
the average private motorist
three hours on a trip across the
state. The turnpike saves the
average truck driver five hours
on the same trip.
During 1955 Pennsylvania had
27 fires in which the damage
exceeded a quarter-million dollars.

The Family Council
Editor'!' Note: The Family Council consist! of a Judge, a psychiatrist, a
newspaper editor, a women's page editor and two newspaper writers. These
consult with clergymen of all faitha and denominations. All letters ara held
In complete confidence.
Mrs. D. D. My brother and
sister are neglecting our parents.
Mrs. K. R. Dorothy has a
complex about them.
Mrs. D. D. I have been mar
ried several years, but have no
children. I live in the same city
with, my parents, who are both
in their sixties. My brother and
sister both moved to different
cities when they got married and
they now have three children
each. They very seldom come to
see my parents, who are terribly
lonely. They never write letters.
They occasionally telephone, but
it is always a hurried, awkward
conversation of "How are you
. . . fine, and you . . well, time's
up." - '
It seems to me that they
could not possibly treat them
this way if I were not here to
"keep and eye" on our parents.
I do this to the best of my
ability, but I work hard at my
job and have a very busy social
life. In any case, no mater what
I do I am unable to make up
for what my sister and brother
don't do. I know they love our
parents and I can't understand
their lack of consideration . . .
unless it's simply that they want
to put the whole responsibility
one me.
Mrs. K. R. It's not true that
we want to put the whole re
sponsibility for our parents on
Dorothy, but what can we do
living so far away? Dorothy has
a guilt complex about our par
ents and constantly sends us
alarmist letters. She married
outside our faith and made our
parents very unhappy about it.
They have gotten over it better
than she has. We don't expect
her to "make up' for our con-'
duct, and she has no right to
dictate to us what we ought to
do for our parents. They certain
ly don't complain.
1
The Council: Dorothy may
have a "guilt complex" about
her parents, but it is possible
that this, plus the fact that she
has no children to take up her
time and emotional energy, sen
sitizes her to her parent's needs.
Mrs. K. R. and her brother
ought to realize that their par
ents ' have too much pride to
"complain' to them, but they
may take Dorothy into their
confidence. Certailny, brief tele
phone ' conversations are poor
Two Are Killed When
'Hotrod' Crashes
San Francisco U.R) Ger
ald Williamson, 21, and Jerome
Miller, also 21, both of San
Francisco, were killed early
Saturday when their "hotrod"
and another car it was racing
collided on heavily traveled
Mission street.
Both cars were heading north
on Mission when, Just before
reaching an intersection and for
some unexplained reason, the
car carrying Williamson and
Miller stopped short. The other
car, which was trailing the pair,
crashed into the rear of the hot
rod. Williamson was thrown from
the driver's seat to the rear seat.
Miller was thrown clear of the
car. Both men died instantly.
Claims BLM Stand
Bottles Up Bill
Ephrata OJ.PJ Hubert H.
Walter, executive assistant to the
Columbia Basin commission said
Saturday the failure of the bu
reau of reclamation to report its
stand on the land limitation is
sue has bottled up the bill in the
commission. '
Walter said the bureau has
come out against increased acre
age, but they should make their
position clear. He said it is the
bureau's job to administer the
law and the job of Congress to
make the law.
Walter said much bitterness ,
is being created in the basin by j
the bureau's failure to make its ;
report to the committee. j
Walter also indicated that the j
chance for action on increasing
limitation this year was fading J
because of Congress' desire to :
adjourn early. 1
It U ;) I
WAVING FROM WINDOW at Walter Reed Army Hospital, Washington, President
and Mrs. Eisenhower thank U. S. Army band for serenade. This is first photograph of
President since he entered institution June 8 for operation. (International Soundphoto)
substitutes for regular, newsy I
letters with such enclosures as 1
snapshots and a scrawl from the j
grandchild. Letter-writing is a i
habit and it can be developed
by any literate person with the
desire to do so.
Dorothy should, however,
get over the feeling that .she j
must make up for her sister's
and brother's conduct and should
certainly stop sending alarmist
letters. Her parents must sense
that she feels overburdened by
her responsibility to them and
this can't give them too much
pleasure.
