Stella M I am a girl of 24 with a terrible problem. I have been in love with a boy of my own age for the past six years. We vaanted to marry, but Dan's family wanted him to finish col lege and his military service first. We didn't insist, but we were to much in love that we had intimate relations. This went on over a period" of three years before Dan went into the service. We were engaged and it was agreed that we would get mar ried as toon as he "got out. Dan is a different person. He says he is in love with another girl. It happens that his family and mine are great friends and if I told them the whole story, they would make him marry me. but I can't marry a man who doesn t love me. l et my life will be ruined if he leaves me now. Dan J. I didn't mean things to happen this way and I lidn't want them this way. I sincerely meant it when I told Stella I loved her and planned to marry her. I did not force or coerce her into0having relations with me. She wanted it as much as I did. I realize that Stella can now force a "shotgun marriage," but what hope is there for happiness for either of us in such a deal?

I don't see why Stella should feel that her life is ruined if I leave her now. She is still young and attractive. This isn't the Vic torian age and she can surely find somebody who would like to marry her despite her "past." She should be grateful that we were lucky enough to not get into worse trouble and have a child to contend with. The Council: These young people took moral and civil law into their own hands and now have good reason to understand why those older and wiser than themselves prefer to respect both. Stella's position is certainly a dreadful one. She can hardly look forward to a "shotgun mar riage" to a man who clearly announces he does not love her. but she suddenly realizes she has enough respect for convention to feel "ruined" if he leaves her. Dan's moral position is not clear. He is willing to be forced into a marriage by both sets of parents, but will not accept his responsibiliy toward Stella of his own volition. His callous attitude toward Stella's feelings indicates that he is capable of Jittle real emotion at this point and he would do well not to take his new "love" too seriously. The wisest thing Stella and Dan can do at this point is to Hi-K Only if - RECORD 5 SHOP Controversy in Augusta, Me., Is Part of Nationwide Legal Battle By LOUIS CASSELS United Preu Correspondent Washington (U.R) The rtirrent controversy in Augusta, Me., over public transportation for parochial school students is part of a nationwide legal bat tle that has been in progress for nearly 25 years. Starting with a court test in Wisconsin in 1923, Catholic par ents have waged a persistent struggle to win free bus service for children who attend church sponsored schools. Protestant groups usually have resisted the demand, as they are now doing in Maine, on grounds that it would breach the wall of church state separation. The issue must be threshed out on a state by state, and some times a community by commun ity basis. The U. S. Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in 1947 that the federal constitution does not bar the use of public funds to transport parochial students, if a state wishes to authorize it. Fifteen states now have sta tutes authorizing some kind of public bus service for parochial school students. These laws vary considerably, however, in the ex tent of service provided. Depends on State Massachusetts, New Hamp shire and Rhode Island provide the same kind of transportation for parochial students that is provided for public school stu dents. New York, Maryland, Ken tucky and Louisiana leave it up to each county or district to de cide whether buses will be fur nished for parochial students. Illinois, California, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico and Oregon permit parochial students who live along the regular route of a pub lic school bus to ride that bus to the parochial school. But the public school buses may not go out of their way to pick up or deliver them. Courts in Wisconsin, Dela ware, Missouri. Oklahoma, South Dakota and Washington state have ruled that public bus ser vice for parochial students is forbidden by the state constitu tion. Different Views In three states. Maine, Con necticut and Colorado, there are conflicting interpretations of the law. Some school districts in Connecticut and Colorado pro vide buses for parochial students and others do not. Court tests are in prospect in these states similar to that which Augusta parents are preparing in Maine. In the remaining 24 states.

The left front fender and left side of stubbs' car were reported dam aged. The accident occurred at 8:27 p.m. A TAXING PROBLEM Taipei (U.R) The "kindness" of the Nationalist Chinese tax collectors costs the government some $10 million a year. Vice- Finance Minister Chen Han-ping reported the people owed the government more than 250 mil lion ($10 million U.S.) in 1955 alone. He accused the tax col lectors of being "too kind," since no arrests were made and no shop was closed for failing to pay taxes. lam me tning over with a ' clergyman of their own faith. ! He may be able to give them some moral and spiritual guid ance that will help both of them to a fresh view of life and their relationship to one another. Dan ; may find his way to a new, more unselfish love of Stella. If he does not, Stella may find the courage and spiritual strength to go on to a better life without him.

RIVERSIDE present laws are so explicit in i restricting bus transportation to public school students that Ca tholic leaders see no point in starting a court test. They say their first hurdle in these states is to get the state legislature to change the law if possible. Lunches for All While Catholic leaders list bus transportation as the top priority target of their continuing drive for "fair treatment" of paroch ial students, they also seek, and in some states have won, other benefits in the "health, safety and welfare" category.

By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Writer Washington (U.R) Back stairs at the White House. Friends of President Eisen hower, some of them, at least, feel that too much has been made of the chief executive's cold, cough and inflammed ear canal in print and over the air. At a GOP party last week for Leonard W. Hall, the former Republican national committee chairman, several of the guests took a look at the smiling pres ident who vvas sharing honors with Hall, then proceeded to be rate some of the correspondents present for "making the Presi dent out to be a sick man." One Republican leader told this reporter: "I don't want to get in any public quarrel with you fellows but why pound day after day on the President's cold? Why create the impression that he's in serious shape when actually he's suffering from the same thing that hits just about every family this iime of year? 'Heck, you've got a cold; I've got a cold. Do we make a pro duction out of it? No, but just Range of Atomic-Powered Submarine Being Extended Washington (U.R) The Navy revealed Friday night that the already fantastic range of the atomic-powered submarine Nautilus is being greatly extend ed. , The world's first nuclear sub marine is being refueled after traveling the legendary 20,000 leagues (60,000 miles) "under the sea" on "only a few pounds of Uranium." The Navy said a new firebox being installed "will incorpor ate important technical advances which will greatly extend the fuel performance as well as ma king it simpler, less expensive and more reliable." Under Test The improvements have been under test for a year at the Na val Reactor Facility at Idaho Falls, Ida., including a 1,600 hour full power run last sum mer. The distance traveled by the Nautilus was i-ughly equivalent to two and one-half times around the globe. The Navy said a con ventional submarine of compar able size would have consumed three million gallons, 30 tank cars, of fuel oil. . "The Nautilus has consumed only a few pounds of Uranium," it said. 'A Light Bulb' Electric Boat Division of Gen eral Dynamics Corp., which built the submarine, said the Uranium used was the size of a "light bulb." Electric Boat is refueling the vessel at its Groton, Conn., yard.

HENRY Detroit (U.R) Henry Ford has been driving the same car since 1923 for a total of 450.000 miles. Rev. Ford, 92, a retired Baptist minister, says his an cient Willys-Knight sedan is in "good shape" because "I don't know anything about how it works. When something goes wrong I get a mechanic." lefi ef PHONE 3-4144, MEDFORD courses. Kansas and West Vir ginia authorize free textbooks for parochial students who can not afford to buy their own. Msgr. William E. McManus, as sistant director of the Educa tion Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, said provision of public health services for parochial students is "quite widespread." Since this is usually a matter of local admin istrative regulation rather than specific statute, neither the NCWC nor the U. S. Office of Education was able to provide a list of communities where it is provided. All parochial schools are eligi ble for participation in the fed eral school lunch program. ltt the president sniffle and the papers and television have him on the way to the hospital." This is a specious argument. When there is anything wrong with the President however min or, it deserves and attracts pub lic attention. Mr. Eisenhower's own press secretary, James C. Hagerty, realizes this and makes every effort to keep the report- Prc fullv in f. rn tho Proc I irlpnt'a health If a reporter has a cold, no one cares outsido of his family or his employer. But when the President is ailing, it is a matter of national and even inter national importance. No responsible medium of in formation has had the President on "the way to the hospital" in connection with his current, an noying ailments. If there had been any inaccurate reporting on the President's health, Hag erty would have been among the first to spot it, and would have yelled bloody murder. Unattractive as it may be, there also remains the fact that because within a year Mr. Eis- fueling is more than merely in serting a new Uranium capsule. "An entirely new heat-generating machine is installed inside the empty steel container which remains when the old core is removed. The Nautilus traveled the 20, 000 leagues between Jan. 17, 1955, and Feb. 4, 1957. On one test it submerged off Key West, Fla., and surfaced two days later off Long Island. It had traveled 1,217 miles at an average of 20 knots. Mem (i) (2) (3) (4) 4 rvi RtTTCtt 4 Monday. March 11. 1957 Lyle C. Wilson Has Heart Attack Washington - U.R) Lyle C. Wilson, vice president and gen eral Washington manager of the United Press Associations, has been hospitalized for treatment after a heart attack. His physician, Dr. Bernard J. Walsh, prominent Washington heart specialist, described the at tack technically as a "myocard ial infarction." Wilson entered Doctor's hos pital here late Saturday after having been treated at his home for several days. Lyle C. Wilson, who is hos pitalized in Washington for treatment of a heart attack, is a regular contributor to the Mail Tribune editorial page. ei.hower suffered two major ill nesses, heart attack and ileitis. minor variations in his health today attract more than usual attention. When Hagerty disclosed that the president probably would go to Florida this week for five or six days on sun and golf, the White House telephones began to peal like a Dutch carrillon. A lot of the calls came from Key West where Mr. Eisenhow er vacationed in January, 1956 The people of Key West could have saved the long distance tolls, however, because the White House said Key West def initely was not under considera tion for the president this trip Mr. Eisenhower wants to set up headquarters at a military installation or the private home of a friend in South Florida preferably near a good golf course. He intends to spend five or six days in the sunshine state before he flies to Bermuda for his conferences with Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan of Great Britain.
