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.

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.
