Sr always 'ltWan t fr.Uy. w CMiii W- I am a married iSlorrtn ith three young chil dren. yt$r ejo my mother, who lives quite fr from here, asked me to invite my youngest sister to corr. to stay with me i for a while. Smily is 28 ;na unmarried find my mother thought I might be able to intro duce some nice younj men to her. Well. I did my best. I had my husband and all my friends bring on any bachelor friends they had, but nothing ever came of it. She never liked the ones who liked her and vice versa. Now Emily jutf sits around and broods nearly every eve ning. She is not at all happy with us. She is annoyed by the children and says she doesn't like any of our friends. She com plains that we don't go out eno4fch to meet really "inter esting" people. How can a moth er of three children go out scout ing for interesting people for her? I asked my mother to tell Emily to come home, but Moth er is furious at me for "giving up" so easily. Mrs. P. F. Mildred has al ways had the best of everything and never gave anything to her sister. Now it's time she did something for Emily. It's not fair that Emily should be unhappy when Mildred has so much. Emily wrote to me regularly and told me that Mildred was introducing all kinds of "creeps" to her. She said Mildred would drag just anything off the street and try to set up dates for her. Is that the right way to treat a younger sister? Emily is a very pretty girl, prettier than Mildred ever was. She is also smart and a good homemaker. She deserves the very best. Why should Mildred begrudge her having the best? Even when they were chil dren, Mildred was mean to Emily. She would never let her wear anything of hers that Emily liked. She would only give her old, worn-out things she was tired of. I tried to bring up my girls to love and help one another, but I guess I'm just a failure. One thing I'm sure of Emily will be an old maid if she comes home now. . The Council: Mrs. P. F.'s dis torted and neurotic attitude to ward" both her daughters is harming Emily, the daughter she apparently favors, more than anyone else concerned. Mrs. P.

Mildred can have a clear con science that she has done the best she could for her sister when she invited her to her home and introduced the eligible men she could get hold of to her. It was an all-out effort and if it failed, it was not her fault. If Mildred wants to help her sister further, she might tell Emily that if she wishes to meet "interesting" people, par ticularly a husband who is not a "creep," she had better get on the job in earnest for herself. Mrs. P. F. says she brought up her girls to love and help one another, but her statement that "it's not fair that Emily should be unhappy when Mil dred has so much" indicates she pitted them against each another and taught them to envy and resent, not to love.

Even with the best shelters possible, he said, 40 per cent of the city populace could be lost. Peterson said in closed door testimony that he has recom mended to the White House a shelter building program to cost S32 billion. He does not know what the White House will decide. But that in any event, he said, he does not believe the shelter pro gram should be oversold as an absolute answer to atomic at tack. "In a thermonuclear war there are no means of saving all of the people," Peterson warned. "It simply can't be done. We are going to lose millions of people if we have a war." Needs Additional Money Peterson testified before a House A p p r opriations subcom mittee on Feb. 6, seeking an ap propriation of $130 million for civil defense in the fiscal year starting July 1.

He finds no reason : "to believe that mankind has reached the zenith of its destruc tive ability." His agency will spend $100, 000 next year studying "human rections to disaster." This is i "probably the most important j item in the budget because no body knows whether the Ameri can people will be willing to , fight if some one starts dropping j nuclear weapons on them, or 1 whether you will have complete ' chaos, pandemonium." His experts believe only about 100,000 of the nation's million hospital beds would be left after an all out enemy attack. Civil , defense has emergency facilities ; for 400,000 beds and wants $42.5 million to buy more. Peterson said that even with , shelters, survival under atomic ' attack will be "highly problem- i atical." "I asked my staff , to tell me what would happen if you drop-1 ped one 20 million ton bomb on a modern city of say 1,800,000 people. They said if we built ; shelters, and had those shelters properly distributed 'we could save about 60 per cent of the people. "So you still have lost 720,000 people even when you spend S450 million to build the shelters." i IMIevs on Thursday, Feb. 28, by the Delta Kappa Gamma, teachers honorary society of Jackson county, in honor of future teach ers.

Salesman Has To Know His Route San Francisco (U.R) There is one San Francisco salesman who really knows his route by heart. He has to because he is totally blind. Every day 41-year-old Clifton Jones makes the rounds of his territory selling household goods without the aid of a dog or hu man assistance, calling on an average of 150 homes as he makes his rounds up one side the street and down the other. He and his wife, Mary, 29. who has only 10 per cent of her vision, are expecting their first child soon. He met his wife four years ago at a banquet given for blind operators of mer chandise stands in public build ings. Jones first began to lose his sight at the age of seven when he was accidentally struck by an ax. About his customers, Jones says: "They don't always buy. So I know they buy not because I am blind. I'm either a good salesman or they need either a brush or mop." FREE! FREE! WATCH STRAP U1TU CAru .
