We aren't saving ny money. a Elizabeth j M. We must give tha children every advantage. Lewis M. My wife and I have been happily married -for 15 years. We have four children; Tanging from 9 to 14 years old. I make, and always have .made, reasonably good salary and we've been comfortable. The trouble is that in my held there i not much hope of financial advancement. I've reached about top now. We have been in debt jn the past. We're out of debt now ex cept for our home. But w'e've. never managed to save anything and I think it's high time we larted to. My firm has a pension plan and we'll have old-age iecurity, but I doubt whether it will be enough to keep us quite independent when our children re grown.. . " Eliiabeth M.

I want them to go to camp every summer, have music and dancing iessions, be long to clubs and have plenty of nice clothes. My feeling is that If the child ren are substantially set up in life, we'll have nothing to worry about. It will mean nothing to them to give us a bit of a hand if we need it. The Council: There is justifica tion for the point of view of both husband and wife in this case. Nobody can tell them ex actly how to apportion their money, but they should try to look at their situation a little more objectively. Lewis says his firm has a pen sion plan, he'll have old-age security and he has a partially paid-for home. This won't keep the .couple in luxuries, but there appears to be little danger of their having to go begging or becoming a heavy burden on their children in their old age. How much security does Lewis want? He appears to show more anxiety than his situation calls for. On the other hand, Elizabeth insists upon giving to the hilt for the children even at the expense of worrying her hus band. She seems to want to stuff the children with every possible material advantage so that they will be "substantially set up." She shows too much anxiety about her children's future. She does not seem to realize that there is absolutely no limit to the number, of material advant ages children can have and that even if they have every material advantage the world can offer, their security cannot be guar- miss By Jimmy Hatlo Slock Gift To Minor Simplified Procedure Chicago IU.R! Making a gift of stock to a minor, once a com plicated legal procedure, has been simplified in many states. Commerce Clearing House, na tional reporting authority on tax and business law, reports that laws setting up custodial powers and simplified proce dures were passed by 13 states in the past year. The laws have simplified tarnsfer, sale and purchase of securities in cases involving minors. The 13 states where the new protective laws are now in ef fect are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina. Ohio, Khode Island, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. Based on a model statute pre pared by the Association of Stock Exchange Firms, the state laws are designed to encourage transfer of securities to persons under 21. anteed. This husband and wife need first to recognize that there can be no absolute security for any one. They ought to base their decision on haw to use their money on the following con siderations: 1- Will .saving a little money really give Lewis greater peace of mind? If it will, this is a benefit from which the entire family will gain. 2 - Are the children really benefiting from all their act ivities? Couldn't they enjoy and profit from one summer at home? Are their lessons a burden, keep ing them away from things they might othewise enjoy? They might develop better if less were "thrown at" them, (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) 2f V$j?' r - i 3 Is That So? Editor's note: How to Choose ! Your Fish is the second of four articles on starting a home-grown aquarium written expressly for the Medford Mail Tribune by Ranger Gene Burns. For your first aquarium con centrate on getting fish which are strong and hardy. You couldn't do better than get gold fish or guppies. But buy sparing ly a few fish in your tank will remain healthy and give you more pleasure. Before you purchase your fish, stand in front of the tank and pick out the ones which are most lively and have the brightest colors and here's a special tip with an erect top-side (dorsal) fin. Avoid fish which swim on the side, or lazily, or near the top or near the bottom: the chances are these are sick fish. Then as the shopkeeper lifts the fish gently with his dipnet, study each one carefully to see that its body is clean. Don't touch them with dry hands. Tiny scales will come off, fungus may get started, and the fish will die. Now if scales and fins are bright and clear that is without a coating or film then the chances are your are getting a healthy fish which won't give you trouble. Goldfish, which come In five or six kinds in most pet shops, are good. They do best in water at 60 to 70. (Tropical fish do bet ter in water from 70-80, around 75 is best.) As you perhaps know, goldfish are related to carp and were developed by the Chinese and brought to this country some 80 years ago. Besides goldfish, there are several kinds of beautiful trop ical fish which do well in aquar iums. These fall into three major categories: those which bear their young alive; those which lay eggs; and those which build bubble nests, but this last group needs understanding. Better stick to the first two first (and I'm listing the hardiest). Inch-Long Guppy Hardy The live bearers are perhaps the most popular. Better confine yourself to the popular guppy, sailfin, black molly and Mexican moons. Of these, the inch-long guppy is hardy, strong and will present you with many young. Males are brightly colored with red. green, blue and gold spots; females are drab olive-gray, sometimes with a few color specks. Don't crowd them. The brightly-colored two-five sailfins, with huge topside fins are hardy too. Constant foragers, --- - ..

Ill" JL n O By tUGENI BURNS Rjnger-Narurjiist they will help clean the algae from the tank, as do the snail. The two-inch handsome black mollys, though not as strong and hardy, are popular. Both male and female are velvety-black by the time they are eight months old. ' Beacuse they want algae, they need more sunlight than most tropical fish. Mexican two-inch moons come in a wonderful variety black, red, gold, and make good neigh bors in a tank. Among the egg layers, the rosy barbs and their close relatives the danios and zebra fish are easy to breed and friendly in the tank. They are all active, color ful, and good feeders. Fairly hardy, too. Good Adition Then the three-Inch head-and-tail-light fish, which earns its name from a brilliant red-gold spot on the base of its tail and from its eyes which reflect a glowing red color, makes a good addition. But, the first time you see the angel fish which come from nickle-size to four-inch long and five-inch high specimens you'll find yourself trapped: they are irresistible simply unbe lievably beautiful with magnifi cent butterfly wings and a pancake-thin body. But take warn ing: they are difficult to breed, but then isn't their beauty well worth it? For a scavenger, there is the scaleless, three-inch metallic green Brazilian catfish who will take care of all leftovers. Finally there are the bubble nest builders and they will take work and experimenting to raise healthy families. They build nests of bubbles, guard their eggs, and care for their young. Among the best are the paradise fish but they are so scrappy they must be kept by themselves. More beautiful is the Betta, the Fighting fish of Siam. You will have to limit yourself to one male, or a female and a male then they will live happily with other fish. But two males means a fight to the death.

For Quick Cash M WT Wednesday, November 7, 1958 Firemen Receiving Higher Wage Scale Chicago (U.R) Firemen are getting higher pay, and more firemen are being hired. The 1956 Municipal Year Book, published by the Interna tional City Managers' Associa tion, says it's part of a trend that has been fairly steady for 10 years. Yearly starting salaries for firemen in cities of more than 500.000 population range from a low of S3.000 to a high of S4.689. with the median falling to $4,137.
