H PICK jjf DAISY'S The Family Council Edltor'i not: Th Fmll Council consist! of a Judge, a. psychiatrist, thrte clergymen, a newspaper editor a women'! editor and two writers Each article is a summary of an actual report. The amily Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that ave been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors Paulin F. My husband won't take responsibility. Peter F. There's nothing I can do to please her. Pauline F. What can I do with a husband who refuses to take responsibility? I am 27, two years older than Pete, so perhaps he looks on me as the stronger, more mature one. Still, I don't think that's any excuse for his refusal to do such things as deal with the landlord, make decisions on what to buy, dicker with workingmen and hundreds of things that call for a little spunk. In the four years of our marriage, I have never known him to take on himself a responsibility that really affect3 our lives. We have a two-year-old baby and we hope to raise a large fam ily, so I am going to have enough to do taking care of them and the home. Im tired of having the full burden for my shoulders. everything on Peter F. Pauline is constant ly harping on what a real man would do in my place, but I sometimes think what a real man would do is shut her up some how. Don't get me wrong. I love my wife, but she sure is hard to take at times. Whatever I do, Pauline seems to think she has to do over. If I talk quietly to the landlord, she thinks he's taking advantage of me. So the next day, she'll talk to him in her own way loud. Then she'll complain she has to do the dirty work. The worst of it is there is nothing I can do to please Paul ine. If I "take responsibility," I do the wrong thing. If I don't, I'm no man. What does my wife want? The Council A gentleman named Shakespeare may have given the answer to Peter's ques tion "What does my wife want?" in a play called "The Taming of the Shrew." The hero, Petruchio, having made up his mind to marry Kate, decided he was the man to tame her, "And bring you from a wild Kate, to a Kate comfortable as other household Kates." He did it simply by insisting on being boss. If the sun was out and Petruchio said it was raining, Kate had to agree. If Petruchio decided that an old man was a beautiful young girl, Kate complimented the whis kered one on his delicate, girlish skin. In the end, Kate wound up lecturing other women on their duty toward their husbands and expressing amazement that wom en should "seek for rule, suprem acy and sway, when they are bound to serve, love and obey." Japanese Strike To Retain Yankees Tokyo m More than 3,000 Japanese, waving red flags, picketed the huge U. S. Air Force Base at Tachikawa Thurs day in what amounted to "don't go home, Yankee" dem onstration. The pickets, members of the Zenchuro National Garrison Workers union, staged the dem onstration in protest against the feared unemployment which would follow the evacuation of U. S. troops from Japan. The demonstration at Tachi- ikawa was sparked by the issu ance of dismissal orders to 575 Japanese employees. The strike is schedule to end today. We'll guess that Pauline doesn't want her husband merely to take more responsibility, but to prove that he is bigger, stronger and better than she is. Peter couldn't prove this simply by dealing with the landlord and making decisions. He would Vlaira ff incict tVlnt nrVlsfairai. Vl a j: j , . . Well, it is doubtful whether Petruchio's method would work in our world today. Petruchio had all of society behind him when he insisted on being boss. Peter couldn't even convince himself that he was right in us ing such methods. We suggest, therefore, that Pauline try to tame herself. She should recognize that she is over domineering, yet has a complete ly unreasonable desire to be dominated. If she wants her hus band to take on more "manly" responsibility, she must let him do it in his own way. If she in- ! sists on being boss, she should at least let her husband enjoy the peace of living under a kindly ruler. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.) (fj i-i . I ;-: ij' .

II $11 2 VA Reminds Vets to Use X' Number Veterans writing to the Vet erans administration about bene fit claims or GI insurance poli cies should be sure to give bene fit claim "C" numbers, S. T. Brannock, head of the Medford VA office, has announced. Many names in the VA files are duplicated. About 30 mil lion names are carried in the central file. Often the "C" num ber or insurance policy number is the main distinguishing factor between claims. "Mystery mail" with no num ber listed comprises 10 per cent of letters received at the agency, Brannock said. These require ad ditional correspondence or con siderable checking to find the correct claims or policies. This is costly to the administration and prevents the veteran from receiving a prompt reply, Bran nock stated.

A 1 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FITS Georgia-Pacific Schedules Layoffs Bellingham (IP) About 270 men and women employed by the Georgia-Pacific Plywood Company plant here will be laid off around Sept. 20 "until fur ther notice." Plant manager Arthur Olson says the curtailment stems from plywood market conditions. He added that curtailment of the Bellingham plant operation will enable Georgia-Pacific to keep its Oregon mills on an operating basis. Most of the firm's timber is situated in western Oregon. It has been the practice to tow peeler logs from various Oregon points to the Bellingham plant for milling. Olson says negotiations are still underway to sell the Bel lingham plant to an employee's cooperative headed by Ray Rob bins of Robbins Plywood Co., Seattle. Poison Oak?
