Mm. C. K. Sandra should
patch up her engagement
Mr. C. K. She should take
a long trip.
Mrs. C. K. My husband and
I are all upset about our 25-year-old
daughter, who recently
broke her engagement.
Sandra is a nice-looking girl,
but has never been popular. A
year, ago she met a very fine
young man and they became en
gaged after a few months. Then
Sandra discovered he had been
regularly seeing an old flame.
She ave back her ring immed
iately. She didn't want to hear
any explanations and would ac
cept no apologies.
O I feel she was very wrong.
Whatever his reasons for seeing
this girl, I am sure this young
man was perfectly serious about
marrying Sandra. I feel that we
ought to put pressure on San
dra to try to patch this thing
tip because I"m sure she won't
find another man as suitable.
e
Mr. C. K. I don't blame
Sandra for breaking this engage
ment. If this young man could
not be faithful to her through
their engagement, what could
she expect in the future?
I am just as concerned about
Sandra's future as my wife, but
I am in favor of a different
course. Sandra has become much
too independent since the break
up of this affair. She says she's
going to be an old maid, so she
has decided to devote herself to
her career. She has taken out
an endowment policy and is reg-

istered in courses to advance
her career.
I feel that her concentration
on becoming a career woman is
very bad. I want to give her a
substantial money gift so she
can take a good long vacation
trip. This will take some of that
independence out of her and
give her a chance to look
around.
Th Council: These parents
are probably unduly alarmed
the remedies they suggest are
unlikely to work. Perhaps San
dra should have listened to the
young man's explanation, but
even if she had listened, she
would probably not be inclined
to accept what he had to say
at face value.
On the other hand. Mr. C. K.
takes Sandra's pledge to be an
old maid a little too seriously.
Many girls decide on exactly
the course of action she has chos
en following the breakup of an
engagement. It is usually a pret
ty healthy sign. The girl tries
to mend her hurt by telling
herself she is not interested in
marriage anyway. She throws
herself into activity, she meets
new people and within a short
time has an entirely fresh out
look. The long vacation trip to
mend a broken heart seldom
works. Vacations leave too much
time for brooding. Instead of
"looking around." Sandra is
more likely to look within and
return home feeling life has lit
tle that is interesting to offer
her.
Less anxiety on the part of
both parents is called for here.
Mr. C. K. ought to hang onto
that "substantial sum." He may
find it will come in handy as
a wedding gift to Sandra in the
not-too-far future.

110 Applications
Made Under New
Law Amendment
A total of 110 applications
have been received by the Med
ford social security office under
the recent amendment to the
social security law providing for
benefit payments to disabled
workers 50 years of age or over,
according to W. V. Nusbaum, dis
trict manager.
This is in addition to 530 ap
plications to "freeze" wage rec
ords, received from disabled
persons under age 50. "Freeze"
applications have been taken
since Jan. 1, 1955. However, ap
plications for benefit payments
have been accepted only since
last October, with payments to
start in July.
To have his earnings record
frozen, or to receive disability
payments, the applicant must be
so severely disabled that he is
unable to engage in any substan
tial work, the condition must
have existed for at least six
months, and it must be expect
ed to continue indefinitely, Nus
baum pointed out. In addition,
the applicant must have had at
least five years work under soc
ial security, a year and a half
of which was in the three year
period immediately prior to the
start of the disabling condition.
Applications filed before June
30 can be made retroactive for
only one year with the result
that workers who have been dis
abled for some time, and who
have not worked since Septem
ber 1954, will not be able to
qualify to have their social se
curity records frozen or to be
paid disability insurance bene
fits at or after age 50.
The Medford social security
office has received a supply of
booklets explaining the disab
ility program in detail. Any
one wanting a copy may call
or write the office. The booklet
is entitled "If You Are Dis
abled." Display Ignorance
who heads their country's gov
ernment, officials reported to
day. Three conscripts said the Re
public of France is ruled by a

Only 15 per cent correctly
named Guy Mollet as the na
tion's present premier. A hefty
70 per cent shrugged off the
question with replies ranging
from "the government changes
too often" to "not interested in
politics."
Deductions Matter
For Revenue Bureau
Washington (U.R) Sen. Spes
sard L. Holland (D-Fla.) figured
today, he'd better turn this one
over to the Internal Revenue
people.
He recived a letter from two
Miami, Fla., school teachers
complaining because they could
not deduct necessary summer
courses from their income taxes.
"A neighbor of ours is a strip
tease dancer," the teachers
wrote. "She is allowed to de
duct as 'necessary business ex
penses' the cost of her false eye
lashes and G-strings, while we
school teachers .can't deduct the
cost of required summer school
work."

What size dress does your wife
wear? How about hosiery? If
you can say offhand exactly
what your wife's sizes are, you
are a husband in a hundred
thousand. Anyway, some shops
are now issuing wallet size cards
on which a husband can have
available the clothing size of his
matrimonial mate.
Asides
Next to Christmas cards, the
greeting card manufacturers do
their best business on St. Val
entine's Day cards. Apparently
the spirit of romance still lives
in the hearts of our countrymen
. No doubt you are familiar
with that spirited song titled "On
The Road to Manda'ay." But
where is Mandalay? If you can't
answer that without hesitation,
cease considering yourself a well
informed fellow. '
Why Women Marry
Why did your wife marry you?
Better not try to find out. Let
it pass. As the man said, "When
ignorance is bliss, it is folly to
be wise." Anyway, Mai Zetter-
ling, the conscientiously glamor
ous cinema luminary said recent
ly: "women marry because they
are insecure in themselves and
want someone to protect them,
look after them. That's why it is
important to them. I'm perfectly
fulfilled. I do not need a man to
lean on or to protect me. I am a
pretty independent person."
Sidelights
What are the six greatest
pleasures or thrills experienced
by a parent? One is when the
child is born. Another is when
he first talks. Next is when he
first walks. You name the other
three ... In the State of Wash
ington there is a town named
George. However, as far as I
know, I do not have a reader in
George, Washington.

vary considerably. I have one
ball-point pen that I used for
three months before the filler
ran out of ink. I have another,

weeks. And in the case of this
pen with the short lived ink sup
ply, the filler costs nearly as
much as the pen.

Storms Improve
Water Supply Outlook
Recent storms have consider
ably improved the water supply
outlook for the Medford Irriga
tion district, according to Jack
Hoffbuhr, manager.
Hoffbuhr said that as of Sat
urday, Fish lake was 1.000 acre
feet short of being full, an im
provement of about 600 acre
feet over the measurement on
March 1. There were 12 inches
of snow on the ground last Sat
urday, compared to none two
weeks before. Precipitation for
that period totaled 4V inches.
At Four Mile lake, snow depth
had increased by about two feet,
and the lake remained full.
Snow measurements still are
less than normal, and the sea
sonal supply of irrigation water
may be less than needed, Hoff
buhr said, but the recent storms
have made the outlook some
what more favorable. Given a
few summer rains, irrigationists
should get through the season
without undue difficulty, he
said.
A town called Rough and
Ready served as the county seat
of Drew County, Ark., from
1846 to 1950.
