sfceodea and counselors.
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

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. She may be able to

A program by the Oregon

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

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.

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.

illness. Mrs. Marge Merro a visi

years, said Brannock.
Of the 4,744.000 who served
