Am tha man beholds the wonan.
As tfte woman see the man.

As each other only can.
Never can the man divest her
Of that wondrous charm ol sex.
Ever must sne dreaming of him
That same mystic charm annex.

Are you by any chance suf- j
itrmg irom mai niKmy irriiaung
ailment known as the ' common
cold"? Know that old saying:
"Feed a cold, starve a fever' ?
It is a misquotation. Get it right.
Should be "If you feed a cold !
you will have to starve a fever.
Eat light. Take it easy. Drink
plenty of water. View the situ
ation philosophically. And in
seven days you will be rid of
said cold.
Sidelights
It is reported 90 per cent of
men now favor the double ring
wedding ceremony. This attitude
is very pleasing to the brides,
to say nothing of the jewelers

any? Are you afraid of your
wife? If so, you are afflicted
with uxorophobia . . . Ever try
"Apple Pie a la Will Rogers"?
This is made with apples, orange
peel and cinnamon. And eaten
with a large piece of American
cheese on the side.
Briefly
The patron saint of psychoan
alysts is St. Thomas of Aquinas.
He argued a doctor should have
the right to probe a patient's
mind as much as his body. That
was about 700 years ago . . .
In an English churchyard can
be seen the following epitaph
on the tombstone of a baby who
died at the age of two months:
If I was so soon done for
I wonder why I was begun for.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. 1.
What was the maiden name of
the wife of John McCormack,
celebrated tenor? 2. What is your
recipe tor Irish coffee? A. 1.
Mrs. McCormack's maiden name
was Lily Foley. 2. The making
of Irish coffee is very simple.
Put three lumps of sugar and
three fingers of Irish whisky
into a cup nearly full of boiling
black coffee. Then add cream.
The important thing is to use
the very best Irish whisky and
coffee and cream of the same
quality. Reason the Irish coffee
is so bad in most places serving
it in this country is because of
the poor material used.
Among The Married
Is your wife over 40? If so,
don't get the idea that you will
never again pace the hospital
waiting room floor awaiting to
hear the nurse announce wheth
er it is a boy or girl. In 1954
there were 76.287 women in this
country in the 40 to 44 age
group who became mothers. In
the same year 4,437 women of
45 or over gave birth to healthy
infants.
Numerology
What is your opinion of num
erology? Mrs. Elizabeth Peters,
mother of Carole Lombard be
lieved in it. On Jan. 17, 1942, at
the Indianapolis Municipal Air
port, Mrs. Peters, after consid
ering the situation as to num
erology, said to her daughter,
"Carole, we must not take this
plane." Carole laughingly ignor
ed the warning. As you know,
that plane flight resulted in the
beloved film star's death. The
warning Mrs. Peters had given
her daughter was heard by a
number of people and was men
tioned in all newspaper reports
of the fatal accident.

ing right by the children.
Mrs. J.R, My daughter's hus
band died a year ago, leaving
her with a small business and
Jhree children, aged 12, 10 and 6.
The business is very hard work
for my daughter and provides
her with little more than the es
sentials. I feel she ought to sell
the business and go to work.
She can earn at least as much
as she is now getting out of the
business. Besides, it would be
better for her morale. She would
meet more people, have to take
better care of her appearance.
She is 38 years old and should
think about marrying again.
I have offered to take care
of the children for the few hours
between the time they get out
of school and the time my daugh
ter comes home, but Nora says
It's not a good idea.
Nora M. My mother .is very
generous, but she is 69 years old
and not in very good health.
She can't keep up with three
active youngsters. It's too much
for her and 1 would worry.
I also feel I would not be
doing right by the children.

O&C Timber Sales'
Fall Below Record
Portland Sales of timber in
1956 on O and C forest lands
managed by the bureau of land
management in western Oregon
were below the record set in
1955 in both volume and value.
Virgil T. Heath. Oregon state
supervisor has reported.
Heath said that final tabula
tions for the 1956 calendar year
showed a timber sale total of
569.779.000 board 'feet valued
at S20.372. 634.66. In 1955 timber
sales from O and C lands set
a record of 603.229.000 board
feet valued at S21. 379.769.60.
The Oregon state supervisor
said the average bid price per
thousand board feet for 1956
was S36.34, compared to $37.11
in 1955.
Heath's report corrected pre
dicted figures issued late in De
cember before final tabulations
could be made.
shock to them. I want them to I
have the security of knowing I I
am around.
It's true that the business is i
very hard work and sometimes i
keeps me on my feet until I am j I
exhausted. Even on Sundays I j
am busy with the bookkeeping '
and other details. It's discourag
ing, too, because I can't see what
can be done to make it more
profitable. But I feel that at ;
least I am always on hand if the
children need or want me.
The Council: Nora shows that
her thinking is on the right
track, but her practical situation
appears to be a particularly un
happy one and some adjustment
should be made.
While there is much to be said
for being "always on hand" for 1
the children, a mother who ex-
hausts herself mentally and phy
sicallly is really only half there.
If she feels discouraged as well,
the children will sense it and
Nora will not be giving them the
feeling of security for which she
is now making such a big sacri
fice. Nora should seek some expert
business advice to find out
whether she can make her busi
ness more profitable at less ex
pense of her energies. It is pos
sible that she is overlooking
some simple angle that someone
with more experience could
easily spot. She should be left
with enough time and energy to
be a real companion to her chil
dren during the evenings and on
week ends.
If it is impossible to do this,
Nora and her children might be
better off if. she went to work.
The entire situation might be ex
plained to the children so that
they realize their mother is go
ing to work in order to be able
to give more of herself to them.
They might rise to the situation
and become much more respon
sible so that they would be less
of a burden to their grand
mother. Perhaps a neighbor or a
responsible high school or col
lege girl could be called upon
to do the job of supervising for
those few hours.
If Nora can return to her chil
dren with a clear mind in the
evening, she will find herself
really enjoying their company
and thus be able to bring more
pleasure into their lives as welL
