Betty M. We must ask our
parents to help us a little longer.
Dick M. I want to get on my
own feet.
Betty M. When we were mar
ried three years ago, my hus
band and I were in our last year
of college. My parents were op
posed to the marriage because
they thought we should wait
until we could be self-supporting.
We eloped, however, and
my parents as well as my hus
band's parents supported us.
My husband had originally
planned to go on with graduate
studies to prepare himself for a
professional career, but after we
were married, he said he thought
he should go to work immediate
ly after graduation. Both sets
of parents finally prevailed on
him to go ahead with his grad
uate work and agreed to con
tinue helping us because they
felt it would be better for us in
the long run. I worked for a
while, but had a baby after a
year and have been unable to
help with our support since.
My husband found the going
very tough at graduate school, al
though he had been a good stu
dent at college. He finally
flunked out. It was a terrible
blow to us, but we had to face
the fact that he was never really
cut out for the field he had pre
pared for. Now we are thinking
in terms of another profession
that would take another year or
two of study.
I say we must ask our parents
to help us a little longer. But
my husband refuses to do this
even though it will ruin his
future and. of course, mine and
the baby's. We can't afford to
be proud now.
Dick M Betty is much too
ambitious and expects too much
of me. She is not satisfied to
have me be an ordinary guy
who makes an ordinary living.
She has no idea of what it means
to a man not to be able to sup
port his own family. I never
wanted support in the first place,
but my wife talked me into it.
The whole thing undermined my
morale all though school. What
if I should fail again? I'm just
sick of the whole business and
want to get on my own feet as
quickly as possible.
The Council: If Betty were
not the same willful and imma
ture eirl she was when she
eloped with Dick, she would be dent.
able to see that her husband is
now in no condition to start new
studies on the old basis of family
support.
Betty talks of false pride, but
she fails to see that her hus
band's very real pride and self
confidence have been so deeply
damaged that he is probably well
justified in his fear of a second
failure. Betty seems to want to
play the little girl endlessly and
seeks her parents' support as a
means of assuring herself of this
state.
Dick has shown himself weak
and childish in the past first,
by probably allowing Betty to
convince him to elope without
making definite plans for the
future and then by allowing him
self to be supported against his
better judgement. Many parents
today help married couples still
at college, but usually they vol
unteer this support because they
want to see the pair married.
Dick was placed in the position
of holding up reluctant in-laws.
Dick is now beginning to grow
up and assert himself and Betty
would do well to try to measure
up to him. Her husband needs
her encouragement and love, not
her ambition and childishly
domineering impulses at this
time.
Dick should not let himself
feel too unhappy about the past
or too pessimistic about his
abilities in the future because
his personal unhappiness un
doubtedly contributed to his fail
ure at school. Some day he may
want to continue further studies
on his own, part-time. If he does,
it may boost his morale im
measurably. But he should not
be driven to do this or cin-
sider attempting it until he feels
he is firmly standing on his
own two feet.

Our countrywomen are re
quired to give their exact ages on
many occasions when such in
formation is not absolutely nec
essary. In many cases "over 21"
would be sufficient. It has been
suggested that women be per
mitted to answer, "over 21" un
til they are 50. After passing 50
they could answer "mature."
There are also some cases when
a man hesitates to give his exact
age. Not due to vanity but for
protective reasons. There is too
much discrimination in some
branches of business against men
in their middle forties.

In Paris this autumn one

Heavy Thunderstorms
In Eastern States

Rain along the South Atlantic
coast and In the Gulf region
marred a generally fair weather
picture today while parts of New
York and New Jersey recovered
from heavy thunderstorms.
Cellars, streets and highways
were flooded Thursday night in
parts of the two states by the
deluge of rain. Strong winds
knocked out power lines and
lightning caused damage in
northern New Jersey.
The precipitation occurred
generally along the edge of cool
air pushing down from Canada
from Maine to Texas.
The eastern half of the nation
was generally colder than
Thursday, but the western half
was slightly warmer. Tempera

speeding through Henderson in
the air-conditioned Cadillac.
The suit said Thornton called

Suit Filed Seeking
Stop Payment of Bills
Portland (U.R) A suit was
filed yesterday which seeks to
stop payment by Multnomah
county of bills and claims in
curred by Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton in the cur
rent vice probe.
The suit was filed by W. E.
Glenn Jr., a cafe owner, on
behalf of himself "and other
taxpayers in the county."
Thornton said he would resist
the suit and press for pavment
of the bills.
Multnomah county commis
sioners approved on Aug. 30
payment of the bills but they
did so under protest. They were
concerned whether the attorney
general has unlimited power to
incur debts that must be paid
by the county.
Thornton, who was ordered
into the investigation by Gov.
Elmo Smith, said he has told
the county that it is legally re
sponsible for the bills.

"Then when word got out he's

that."

The addition of "hundreds" of

-at an easy-to-take price

Century is a great performer.
The getaway is right away the

As we said, the name is
Century.
And, as you'll discover, the

above the well-known smaller
cars.
So you really ought to try a "58

Buick prices (who knows when
they'll ever be as low again! ) . . .
