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. F. has evidently convinced

Emily that it is her. sister's job
to present her with an ideal
husband and that if Mildred does
not do this she "begrudges her
having the best."
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.

law provide for exemptions of
food, clothing, seeds, fertilizer,
livestock feed, livestock; and
otherwise to be patterned after
the California sales tax law; and
that said law also contain a pro

"And Be It Further Resolved:
that unless said law contains
only the provisions cited above,
this Grange goes on record as
being firmly opposed to a sales
tax."

Peterson Says Mass
Shelter Program for
City Dwellers Needed
Washington (U.P) Civil De
fense Administrator Val Peter
son has warned Congress that
without access to mass shelters
98 per cent of America's city
dwellers might die in surprise
atomic attack.
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. Previous civil
defense requests have been heav
ily cut by Congress.
Other highlights of Peterson's
testimony:
His agency wants to junk the
"Conelrad" emergency broad
casting system for use in an
enemy attack. Instead, it would
like to 'take over" all radio and

The atomic bomb, however de-;
structive, may not be the ultim
ate weapon. 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

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."
