Lewis M. We aren't saving

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..

advantage. 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-

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,

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,

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.

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.
