Mr. H. G. My son wants to
patch up his bad marriage.
Gerald G. Cynthia needs
me now.
Mr. H. G. Three years ago
our son got married against our
wishes at the age of 18. The girl
he married was only 16. They
ran oli and eloped and then
came to live with us because the
girl's parents refused to have
anything to do with them.
A year after they married
they had a baby. We saw at once
that the girl did not know how
to look after the baby and my
wife tried to help her. This caus
ed quarrels and finally they
moved away.
After a few months Gerald
and Cynthia broke up. Then the
baby took sick and died. Gerald
was heartbroken and has been
a nervous wreck ever since. Now
he wants to go back to Cynthia.
. We feel this would be a terrible
mistake. The girl is not a fit wife
and mother. '
Gerald G. I am just as guilty
for my son's death as Cynthia.
I left her alone with the baby
when I knew she was not feeling
well and I made her nervous
with our terrible fights.
' Cynthia needs me now. She
does not want to go back to live
with her parents, who hate her
for having married me in the
first place. My parents seem to
feel 1 am lucky now not to be
tied down because of the baby,
but I feel I would like to start
all over again with Cynthia. I
want to have a family and be a
good father this time.
My parents think I am still too
young to be married, but I am
married anyway. Don't I belong
with my wife at this time?
The Council Mr. and H. G.
fail to recognize that their son
has enormously matured
through his tragic experience.
They should not now undermine
his morale and his new-found
strength by keeping him from
his wife. They seem to want to
cross off the entire marriage as
a disaster, but there is much
more to be gained by thinking of
It as a firsf, halting step toward
maturity.
Gerald is right in saying he
belongs with his wife now and
always, but perhaps he does not
realize he must still face grave
problems. If Cynthia has been

ill physically and mentally, she
will require a physician's care
first of all. He can do much for
her, but not everything.
It is possible that Cynthia has
not grown through experience
quite as much as Gerald has. Her
belief that her parents "hate
her" for having married Gerald
in the first place is likely to be
untrue and may indicate an im
mature and neurotic frame of
mind. She should go back to live
with her husband, not because
she dislikes or fears her parents
or because she feels they don't
want her, but simply because
she wants to be with her hus
band and to make a better fu
ture with him.
It won't be all smooth for this
couple. They are still very young
and can't expect to be entirely
different overnight from the boy
and girl they were only a short
time ago. Gerald is new strength
ened by all the emotions brought
on by this misfortune, but he
must recognize that it will take
day-to-day routine patience and
courage to make a go of his mar
riage. His present good will and
clear - sightedness indicate the
road toward a more hopeful fu
ture. (Copyright 1957. General

Rescue Crews Reach
Four Coal Miners
Anchorage, Alaska U.PJ
Rescue crews Saturday reached
the bodies of four miners killed
Friday when a violent explosion
trapped them deep in a coal
mine near here and a search
continued for a fifth man en
tombed in the slope.
But rescue workers feared
that the fifth miner, also was
dead.
Four six-hour rescue crews
worked through the night to
fight their way down the 1,000
foot mine slope at Jonesville.
Alaska, 65 miles north of here.
The bodies were recovered at
the 750-foot level.
One worker reported running
into "a wall of poison gas" after
he got some distance into the
mine. It was believed the four
deaths were a result of the gas
and the effects of the explosion
which occurred shortly after 10
a.m. Friday.

You usually
think of Holly

But behind scenes there are a
few who have made successful
careers.
Producer Harriet Parsons is
such a rarity that when stars
walk into their producer's office
and discover she's a female, the
reaction is varied.
Men Arc Amused
"The men at first are amused
to work for a woman, but after
a while they respect you," Miss
Parsons reflected today as she
sat in her office at 20th Century
Fox Studio.
"But the women well, some
such as Irene Dunne and Bar
bara Stanwyck are thorough pro
fessionals. Others for some rea
son resent working for a woman.
Perhaps they think another
woman can't be fooled . . .
"I don't think Marilyn Monroe
liked working for me in 'Clash

When we went on location, she
was constantly late to the set.
So I went to her room every
morning to prod her along."

Actress employees are only
one crisis to this handsome wom

Washington (U.R) Among
the interested spectators today
at the inauguration of President
Eisenhower was Oregon's new
Governor, Robert D. Holmes.
Gov. and Mrs. Holmes arrived
in the nation's capitol yesterday
and were greeted by several
members of the state's congres

Mrs. James Sharp, wife of the
president of the Oregon State
society here, presented a sheaf
of scarlet roses to Mrs. Holmes
upon the couple's arrival.
Prominent in the inaugural
parade was a former Sisters,
Ore., girl, Clydene Bush, who
rode atop Miss Burma, the ele

party.
Robert D. Maxwell of Red

The Northwest forest was
no lure to the leaders of early
discovery and exploration up
the American North Pacific
coast. Sir Francis Drake sailed north
in 1579 in the hope of finding
a Northwest passage of escape
with the treasure he had pirated
from the Spaniards.
Drake ran into foul weather
at the 42nd degree of north
latitude and wheeled westward
for the voyage home.
The greatly lamented Phil
Parrish has told the best story
of what happened next. The
English commander had a his
torian aboard, one Parson Flet
cher, who penned a description
of weather and scene which,
while cruelly maligning its sub
ject, does suggest something of
the costal climate and view at
its worst in early fall.
Such Language
Parson Fletcher complained
of "The most vile, thick and
stinking foggs against which the
sea prevailed nothing" and of
mountain winds which "send
abroad their frozen nimphes, to
the infecting of the whole air
with this unsufferable sharp
nesse." "Hence comes the general
squalidnesse and barennesse of
the countrie," Parson Fletcher
wrote; "hence comes it that in
the midst of their summer the
snow hardly departeth from
their hills at all; hence come
those thicke mists and most
stinking fogges . . ."
Certainly the parson-historian
was looking on a shore north
of the Humboldt, and this would
be a forest coast. But the world's
land was full of trees in those
times. A northwest passage from
the Atlantic to fair, sweet is
lands of spice and gold and gems
was the dream of Drake and
many more. The Spaniards
hoped to find the storied "King
dom of Quivira" up the northern
coast from Mexico, even as they
had searched the northern Mex
ico desert for the ' mythical
'Seven Cities of Cibola."
'"The Northwest Passage" was
the dream of many beside Drake.
Golden Legend
In the time of Captain Drake,
Jacques Cartier was quoted:
"They of Canada say that it
it is a month's space to sail to
a land where cinnamon and
cloves are growing." And he
agreed with "the excellent geo
grapher, Geradus Mercator, 'that
Monday, January 21, 1957
there is a straight and short
way open into the West, even
unto Cathay (by which) they
shall gather the most noble
merchandise of all the world."
Jewels, silks, sandalwood and
tea were meant never cedar
or hemlock, Sitka spruce or
Douglas fir.
And there was the tale of a
gray and weather beaten sailor
who came ashore at Venice on
an April day in 1596. Venice
was in her glory still, a place
of golden legend and bloody
history. The old sailor met and
conversed with Michael Locke,
an English merchant and travel
er.
For years ealier, the old tar
declared, he had voyaged to the
South Seas in the service of
Spain. The Viceroy of Mexico
had given him command of a
caravel and a pinnace to ex
plore northward. After crossing
the latitude of 47 degrees, the
little vessels were steered cau
tiously eastward for the coast.
On this course they at last enter
ed "a broad inlet." The tale ran
on, a dream, a legend, of the
imaginary "Northwest Passage."
At the conclusion the ancient
sailor remarked that he was
commonly called Juan de Fuca.
From this tall tale the "Straits
of Juan de Fuca" won the place
en the maps that it retains today.
