Mrs. F. R. 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-

ther does she. 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.

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.
