T Promotional Campaign Backfires Princeton, N. J. (IP) A pro motional campaign by the YMCA and YWCA backfired recently because officials failed to con sider the reaction from this com munity's university population Those directing the campaigns received permission to paste eight-foot-high paper "Y's" on store windows in the downtown section. They were startled when angry Princeton University stu dents began ripping down the huge letters. It seems the Princetonians thought agents of a certain uni versity in New Haverf, Conn., had invaded the community and were trying to needle them.

Sunday, October 13, 1957 Vivian T. My husband won't tell me anything about his fi nances. Matthew T. Women and fi nances don't mix. Vivian T. My husband seems to be more married to. his fam ily than to me. We have been married 10 years and have four children, but sometimes I think I am living with a stranger. He is closed-mouthed with me I didn't even know about some le gal trouble he had recently until I read it in the paper. I'm not even sure how much money my husband earns. I don't know whether or not he is insured. When I ask him, he laughs and says he's afraid I'd kill him for his insurance money if he had any. My husband has some sort of business deal with his brother and he tells him everything. This brother is a very tricky sort of guy and I don't trust him from here to the corner. They get together at their par-! ents' home a couple of nights a week and I'm not even invited : over. I'm ashamed to tell my own family that I don't even know anything about my hus band's finances. ! i Matthew T. Money, money, 1 money and insurance, insurance, insurance that's all I ever hear from Vivian. Practically the first question she asked after she agreed to marry me was how much money do I make. I didn't tell her the truth, but what I did tell her, she right away went and told her whole family. I happen to be an old-fashioned guy. I believe women and finances don't mix. My wife is a real dope when it comes to money. She doesn't know an asset from a liability. I. give her plenty to run the home on. She's got no beef there. So I don't see what she's complaining about. It was always that way in my family. My father gave my mother plenty for the home, but she never knew how much money he had or where he got it from. She tells me she doesn't even care to know that the right kind of wife doesn't ask ques- MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE tions about what doesn't con cern her. The Council: If Matthew knows so much about economics, he's probably heard that women and finances mix so well, worn en hold most of the money in the nation. He may be an old fashioned guy, but he's living in a new-fashioned world and he is making a big mistake by not sharing this vital information with his wife. If Vivian doesn't know an as set from a liability, Matthew ought to teach her because his children's welfare might depend on it one of these days. His brother is not a satisfactory sub stitute for the mother of his ; children as a financial confidant. It appears Matthew has good reason to keep his business deal ings secret. It is not our function to go into this aspect of the fam ily problem, except to say that his wife should, at least, know ! what kind of policies he has, the ; ficiaries and the company which issued the insurance. He should also list his bank accounts, safe deposit box num ber, any real estate or securities, and his debtors or creditors. His wife should also have the name of a lawyer she could call on in an emergency. This is a practical matter, but more is involved. There can be no real love between this couple while there is no trust, and there can be no trust when the wife is kept in the dark about these vital matters. (COPYRIGHT 1957, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)
