The corporation is made up of businessmen, bankers and labor fr-om Ashland, Medford and Grants Pass. Operation Home Improvement was instigated by President Eisenhower last year. Improvement is to improve liv ing conditions, according to of ficials. The Federal Housing author ity has increased title I limits for home owners to participate in Operation Home Improve ments, corporation officials said.

The clinic is maintained by the association as part of its cases finding program with machinery purchased by Christ mas seal money. A small charge is made to cover operating cost. Volunteer clerical help is provided by the Providence Guild, Mrs. Paris stated.

A canvas slap per will persuade hogs and cat tle just as well as a club, and a rattling can of stones will move sheep. Clubs will bruise animals and cost cash at the packing plant.

Fred D. I am a widower of 53, with two grown and married children. My wife died three years ago andI have been quite lonely ever since. In business I was thrown into frequent con tact with a young woman of 29 and several times I asked her out to dinner with me. We were so congenial I could hardly be lieve there was the big age dif ference between us. . As time went on, we began seriously "dating." I felt a little guilty at taking up so much of Rose's, time, but she assured me there was nobody else she pre ferred to be with. I was astound ed when, one day, she told me she loved me and wanted to marry me. Of course, I would ike to say yes. She's an attractive and in telligent girl, but it seems to me that it would be very foolish from her point of view. I am definitely not interested in rais ing a new family and she is too young to be saddled with an old fogy like me. ' Rose R. Fred always likes to call himself "old" in relation to me, but I know men of half his age who are not so young as he in body and spirit. Besides, I am old for my age. I have been working and on my own since I was 17. I was never a sheltered girl and I know what I want. I know of many youth-and-age marriages that have been very successful. I feel that it is simply a question of the girl's being mature enough to know what she really wants. I have gone out a lot, known loads of young men, yet I have never cared for anyone as I do for Fred. He is the ideal man to me and has been for years. I was secret ly in love with him for the long est time. I am a little disappointed about Fred's attitude about c h i 1 d r e n. He is still young enough to have a second family to brighten his old age. He'll feel differently about it after we are married. . The Council: Fred is wise not to be flattered into unwari- ness by this aggressive young woman. She may know very well what she wants but does he know what he wants? Apparently, at the outest of this affair, he simply wanted a dinner companion. Even later, enjoying her company his feel ing of guilt about taking up so much of her time indicates that he did not want to become ser iously involved.. Then came the marriage proposal. Marriage proposals from attractive young women are not usually easy to turn down especially when one is lonely. But still Fred hesitates. Fred should recognize that it is not purely concern for Rose that makes him hestitate. He is struggling against a relation ship he does not want at this time being the husband of a very forceful young woman, who sees him as an "ideal" and who fully intends to "brighten" his old age in the manner she sees fit. If Fred wanted this kind of relationship, he would jump at the opportunity. Certainly, there have been successful youth-and-age marriages but the partners must understand one another. Rose should let this man off the hook and look for an "ideal" that is more of a match for her temperament. Fred ought to look for dinner companions in his own age group.

DURLING (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, IncJ How well informed are you on Easter and kindred subjects? Should your Sunday school tea cher be proud of you? Recently a group of intelligent, well edu cated people with every reason to consider themselves well in formed engaged in a discussion as to Easter and were surprised as to the number of queries they were unable to answer def initely." As for example, why is the period of Lent fixed at 40 days? What was the charge against Jesus Christ that result ed in crucifixion? Who carried Christ's cross to the place of crucifixion? How soon did Christ die after . crucifixion? That is, how many hours did he remain alive and suffering on the cross? How long after death was it that He arose? When did he ascend to heaven? If you can answer these queries, you rate an unusually well informed per son on the subject of Easter and your Sunday school teacher is justified in considering you a star pupil.

Among the Married When considering the promo tion of a man to "an executive position of importance, some organizations check on the char acter of his wife before making the final decision. It would, therefore seem- important that executives and those who hope to occupy such a position should give this angle careful consider ation. Bachelors should also keep it in mind in selecting a wife. I have asked our Horses and Wom en experts to give this situation special attention with a view to offering some helpful hints to husbands on wife training and and to bachelors on wife selec tion. These helpful hints will appear in a later issue. . Asking Queries from clients. Q. What was the most repeatedly played popular song of the 20th cen tury? I am referring to songs played and sung so much they began to get on the nerves of the public. My nomination is the song titled "The Music Goes Round and Round." My friend says it was "Dardanella." How about you? A. I think it was "The Merry Widow Waltz." In fact, that was played so much it inspired another song titled "I'd Like To Shoot The Man Who Wrote The Merry Widow Waltz."
