Tbe Family Council does not five advice; it merely reporta on problems titat bave been dealt wltb by responsible agencies and connselors. Clifford J. My wife is about to repeat her mistake. Patricia J. He drove me to it. Clifford J. My wife and 1 have been married four years and are still in our 20s. Less than a year after we had been married I learned that my wife was being unfaithful to me When I confronted her with it, she said she did not know what had happened to her, she must have gone crazy to do such a thing and that it would never, never happen again if I would forgive her. Our religion doesnt permit divorce and finally I forgave her. During the next two years she became very changed in her behavior in general. She was wonderfully devoted and con siderate, kept a beautiful home and, I must admit, seemed to be making every effort to make me happy. Suddenly, however, all that changed again. She now shows no interest in our home and says she does not particularly care whether or not we ever have the family we planned for. She is flirtatious with my friends and other men and I have a terrible feeling she is about to repeat her mistake if she has not al ready done so. Patricia J. Cliff drove me to what happened in the past with lack of feeling for me. To him a good wife is supposed to just keep a good home. In return she gets supported nothing more He showed me no love, no real interest. Our sex life was just routine. I am the first one to admit that what I did was wrong, may be unforgivable. Just the same. I feel I can't dedicate the rest of my life to making it up to Cliff. For two years I tried to do that and he acted as though it was simply his due. I never said a word, but I hoped that eventual ly he would feel I had been suf ficiently punished and deserved the sort of love any wife wants. It's true that I have now lost Interest in our home and I don't care whether or not we ever have a family. I do enjoy socia bility, and my "flirtatiousness" with men is really just that. I would never be unfaithful again. Cliff's suspicious and his cold ness make me actually hate him at times. Tha Council Patricia has taken upon herself the role of the misunderstood wife and re fuses to learn by experience that she must alter it. Custom Laundered A XT We'll Give You . . .

CHRISTENSEN MAIL TRIBUNE "I never said a word," Pa tricia self-righteously proclaims. Evidently she expected her hus band to know by intuition the way she felt and what was on her mind. Perhaps some men would have understood, but Cliff didn't and Patricia owed it to him and to herself to at least let him in on the secret. She never gave Cliff a chance to help her and their married life. What warmth can she expect from Cliff if she coldly excludes him from her innermost feelings and, instead of confiding in him, acts in des peration and defiance? Needs Soma Re-Educalion If what Patricia says is true. that Cliff expects her merely to keep a good home and to be supported for it, he needs some re-education about marriage. Few women can keep up an in terest in running a home and having a family without the feel ing that their husbands deeply care for them. A man may have that deep feeling without ex pressing it sufficiently, but then it doesn't help his wife very much. Cliff and Patricia have gotten to the point where they wouldn't dream of expressing things to one another. Cliff doesn't ex press his love. Pat doesn't tell her grievances. They should try to unlock their hearts and minds to each other. If they find they cannot do thjs, they should seek outside guidance. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.)

Medford attorney and member of the committee on governmental op erations of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, report ed this morning on a legislative hearing on two public utility bills. At the committee's weekly breakfast session. Van Dyke in dicated that Senate Bills 274 and 275, introduced by Jackson leg islators, were opposed by the Southern Pacific at the hearing in Salem last week, but received considerable support from many parts of the state. Greater Authority The two bills would give the public utilities commissioner greater authority control the services and schedules of rail roads in the state. Van Dyke said three proposed amendments, to provide excep tions to some aspects of PUC control in the matter of freight schedules for perishables, sea sonal commodities, and in cases of national emergency, would make the bills acceptable to man fruit and lumber shippers, who oppose the bills in their present form. He said Sen. Philip Lowry, Medford, proposes to have the bills amended, and the committee went on record as having no objection to the sug gested changes. Other Action In other action, the committee unanimously approved a propos ed salary budget for higher edu cation as proposed by the state system, with the understanding that the full amount would go to salaries. It also formally pro tested legislative action design ed to deprive administrative agencies of control over their own budgets, within budget clas sifications. The committee tabled for later consideration a proposal regard ing federal aid to education, pending more adequate informa tion.

Pleasa Nota The most accomplished film actresses in the matter of han dling love scenes are Vivien Leigh, Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman. The majority of the rest of female cinema perform ers when in the middle of a love scene act like a long distance runner cooling off. They pant, gasp and palpitate. Love scenes should not be played with the chest but with the eyes. Horses and Women Third in order of importance of the wonderful things about women is their capacity for sym- supreme J I - .

With a few days practice your Aunt Mary could handle it. However, she would have to keep awake. This some starters seem unable to do.

Sleepy ' starters should be penalized for careless starting. Heads Up Gloria S w a n s o n, Vivian Blaine and Mae West are all about five feet, two "inches in height. However, they appear much taller. This is said to be due Jo the fact that these very smart women hold their heads high. This is in accord with the advice Quaker mothers gave to their daughters; namely: "Hold thy head high, thy chin up and thy stomach in." Every activity has its occupa tional diseases. Even that of theatre box office men whose oc cupational diseases are heart trouble, stomach ulcers and flat feet ... Of all the world's hus bands the Greeks are the most jealous. That has always been so. Evenin ancient Greece when some wives went out alone their husbands made them eat onions. That was to prevent anybody enjoying kissing them.
