is made to cover operating

Chest x-rays are recognised as
a quick, efficient method of dis

Paris pointed out, and urged
adults in the county to take ad

restaurant workers should make
a special point of having annual

Fred D She's too young for
me.
Rose R. I know what I want.
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.

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.
Over There
In Great Britain the quiz pro
gram comparable to our $64,000
Question, is galled ' the "Sixty
four Thousand Shilling Ques
tion." That makes the top
prize $8,960. However, the win
ner takes all. That is to say,
it is not taxed. It is-tax free
as are gambling winnings in
Britain. The contestants in the
British quiz are given books to
read in advance and are td
the questions will be taken from
the subject ; matter of said
books. So, it -is a combination
memory and information test. .

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."
