GALS M: Jennie should go to v.rk and leave her child with ir.t. JENKIFER R: My daughter is all I have. GALE M: My sister is an at tractive young woman in her late 20's. She has a 4-year-old little girl. Two years ago her husband became involved with another woman and demanded a divorce. Jennie held out for .more than a year, but .finally gave up and consented to the divorce. Since then she has been a to tal wreck. She has lost 20 pounds and cries day and night. My husband and I try to get her to come out with us, but it does no good. Even if , she consents to have some sociability, she goes into one of her moods among people. She went away on a short vacation, but that didn't help either. I am seriously worried about her and the child, who will surely suffer from all this. I want her to leave the little girl with me and go to the city and resume the rather interesting ca reer she had before her mar riage I feel this is the only thing that will give her a new inter est in life, but she refuses. JENNIFER R: My daughter is all I have in life now. We must stick together whatever happens. I can never love any mad again and I must, at least, keep my daughter. My sister seems to think that you should be able to shed your feelings like an outworn coat or dress. Maybe she doesn't have the same feeling for her hus band that I had. When I took HOW CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALS Station KWIN 1400 K.C my marriage vows, it was for life, as far as I was concerned, and my feelings will never change. When I am among people or on a vacation, I cannot be hap py because my feelings go with me. If I went back to work, it would be the same thing. It's true that I enjoyed my work be fore my marriage, but it certain ly can't be the same again. Then I wouldn't even have my little girl to comfort me when I am blue. I can't understand why people just don't leave you alone when they see that you can't partici pate in their pleasures and add nothing to their parties. THE COUNCIL: Jennifer would hate to be accused of sel fishness, but there is no other name for her attitude. She places indulgence in her own feelings above everything in the world including the wel fare of her child. "I wouldn't even have my lit tle girl to comfort me" states Jennifer, not for a moment thinking what a hopeless and terrible burden she has placed on a baby of 4. "We must stick together." states Jennifer, refusing to take an honest look into the future when her daughter will not want to stick to her. She has sen tenced the child to a lifetime of making up to her an abuse for which she had no responsi bility. Jennifer seems determined to make her life as miserable as possible but the fact is that time must heal all wounds. Those who hold onto their wounds for a lifetime are no longer really suffering from the wound, but from a mask of grief they have chosen to wear. Jennifer may choose to wear this mask, but she ought to know that she is wrecking her child's life. Jennifer can, on the other hand, choose to help her daugh ter by helping the healing pro cess in her own heart. Both work and social activities will help if she enters into them as wholeheartedly as possible. She need not accept separation from her daughter if she changes her attitude.

Lecturer Ethel Carr presented Mrs. Bert Standcliff, co-chairman of Phoenix Cancer Educa tion committee. Mrs. Standcliff spoke briefly regarding the in formation the Oregon Cancer So ciety hoped to bring before the public, in the two films they had supplied. One entitled "Liv ing Insurance," stressed regu lar physical check-ups in order to detect cancer in the early stages. The other entitled "Man Alive'' and was in the nature of a cartoon, but clearly demon strated why persons should not let fear keep them from going to their doctor and finding out the truth, if they have any symp toms which might indicate can cer. Dr. Donald McGeary of Phoenix then held a question and answer period. The program was open to the public. A number of Phoenix residents who were not Grange members were present as well as members of other Granges.

Pomona master Bitterling In stalled the overseer and lady as sistant steward-elect. Mervin Hixon then took the masters sta tion for the remainder of the meeting. Pomona master Bitterling and Cyril Farnsworth, master of Griffin Creek Grange were pre sented to the masters station, and each spoke briefly during the meeting, as did several of the other visitors. Bitterling told of his recent visit to state legislature and a meeting of Pomona masters, which had been called by State Grange Master McClure to dis cuss bills now before the pres ent legislature. Bitterling also urged Grange members to build up the Pomona membership, by urging all those not already Po mona members to take the fifth degree at the May meeting, just prior to the state Grange con vention in June. Melvin Lattie, chairman of the legislative committee had also attended the meeting called by the state master, and mentioned several bills of particular inter est to farmers, which were dis cussed there. One in particular which would find a way to work and keep her daughter with her. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.) be a protection to dairymen and which they themselves will fi nance, and would be of no cost to the public, was adopted unani mously. He said that legislators of both parties all seemed tax conscious and doing a very good job.
