Our son wants to marry an older woman. T.ddy R. Nobody can break us up. Mr. F. R. My husband and I are all upset about our 19-year-old son, who has started going around with a much older "wi dow." This woman says she is 23, but we think she is 30, at least. We have heard talk that her husband is very much alive and will probably be back one of these days. X went to this 'woman and gave her a piece of my mind for her cradle snatching, but she just laughed in my face and said that she and my son are in love and planning to get married and I can't stop them. My husband and I have ar gued ourselves hoarse, but Ted dy pays no attention at all to us. We are at our wifs end to know what to do with him. I have threatened to get the po lice after this woman, but Ted dy says if I try it he'll run away and get married immediately. T.ddy R. My parents think they can manage my life just as if I was still a kid. I am self supporting and can do exactly as I please. Rita has told me the whole story of her life and I believe every word of it and nobody can tell me different. She is a sweet kid and has had a lot of hard knocks. That may be why she looks a little older than she is. She was married at 16 and had a rough time of it before her husband died. She nursed him through a long illness. She has worked hard ever since. Rita is crazy about me and I about her. Nobody can break us up. My father has threatened to beat me up if I go out with her, but I can handle him any day. I don't think the difference in our ages is so important and nei- Twice Prelly! I Printed Pattern 'TWO graceful silhouettes in this printed pattern for juniors!

We are planning to settle in a different commun ity where the people aren't so gossipy. Th. Council: Teddy Is in a peck of trouble and he knows it, but he doesn't know how to get out. Because he is determined to defy his parents and prove his manhood, he has closed off help. If Teddy asks himself why he keeps talking about marriage, but hasn't done anything about it yet, he will have to admit it because he does not want it. He has simply gotten involved over his head. The only way Teddy's parents can help him now is by keep ing hands off, praying and sweat ing it out. Threats only play in to Rita's hands by making Teddy feel that he's got to go through with this affair in order to show his parents who is boss of his life. Whether or not Rita is really 23 or 30 is not as important as it may seem. Neither is her hard luck story. The only important issues for Teddy are the facts that he is too young to marry anyone and that he most cer tainly does not love this girl. If he is honest with himself Teddy will have to admit he is flattered that this older, "exper ienced" woman pays attention to him and this makes him putty in her hands. Instead of wasting his time and energy fighting his parents, he would do well to use both to escape from Rita. That will be" a fight "that requires real manhood. His desperate cry, "no body can break us up, is true, He 11 have to do it himself. (Copyright 1957. G.n.ral F.aiur.a Corp.)

Earwigs Can Be Controlled Now This is one of the two seas ons of the year in which ear wigs can be controlled, accord ing to C. B. Cordy, county hor ticulture agent. Conventional baits are .effec tive, Cordy saidr but are des troyed by garden sprinkling, rain and other forms of mois ture. Therefore, several appli cations are necessary. The county agent recommen ded thorough dusting with 5 or .10 per . cent DDT around foundations, ' trash .. piles, fence rows . and . other . places where young earwigs are found. If a spray is used, he recommends one-fourth pound 50 per cent DDT in three gallons of water. Cordy emphasized the need for thorough distribution of control materials. He noted that young earwigs are more easily controlled than mature ones. Mature earwigs de velop resistance to control ma terials, he said. The second brood of earwigs will appear in July, the other time when con trol methods are effective. Ia 1952, only about 12 per cent of the total employed work ing population of the U. S. was engaged in agriculture, notes a new Twentieth Century Fund survey.
