Mrs. R. T She's throwing ten
years of work down the drain.
Barbara S But my marriage
is at stake!
Mrs. R. T. My husband and
I are the parents of four intelli
gent, attractive children. We
have tried to give them a lot of
the advantages we missed in life,
but I'm afraid they don't appre
ciate it very much.
Our daughter, Barbara, is a
very talented musician. We sent
her to the best teachers and she
won scholarships. At 19, she de
cided she wanted to get married.
She is so headstrong we didn t
even try to oppose her. Now she
blames us because her marriage
isn't working out very well.
What worries us most is that
she has completely given up her
studies. She could easily have
gone on with the scholarship she
won, but she said she couldn't
do that and be a good wife at
the same time. We feel she is
throwing ten years of hard work
down the drain for no reason
at all.
Barbara S. That is Just typ
ical of my mother. My marriage
is at stake and she's worried
about my giving up my scholar
ship. I have tried and tried to show
my mother she was wrong in
training me and my sister for
everything except life as a wom
an. Didn't she realize we'd have '
to cook a meal some day or
clean a house? The first time I
had to cook dinner for my hus
band I nearly died of stage
fright. I found that keeping up
our small apartment threw me
into such a dither I couldn't con
centrate on my work.
Naturally I'm very unhappy
about the scholarship. But I feel
it's a small sacrifice to make if
it will lead to a haapy marriage
and home which is what I real
ly want most. Just the same, my
husband and I fight so much
that I am terribly worried about
what the future has in store.
The Council: Mrs. R. T. may
have been wrong in not better
preparing Barbara for the kind
of life she would face as a mar
ried woman, but Barbara now ap
pears to be going to childish ex
tremes to remedy the damage.
Young girls who have had no
training in homemaking some
times fly into panic when con
fronted with the responsibility
of making a home, but they
should realize that it is a job
like any other. It can be learned,
but not all in one day.
If Barbara had not strived for
perfection in that first dinner for
her husband, ,she undoubtedly
could have produced something
quite satisfactory at less cost to
her nerves.
The real difficulty for Barbara
and other girls who had great ed
ucational advantages is in clari-

clubs will hold its fall meeting

fying their mind and feelings
about what they want to do in
life. Barbara has made up her
mind she wants to be a good
wife', but the fact that she fights
with her husband is a likely in
dication that her feelings are in
rebellion.
She can't help resenting the
husband for whom she made the
"small sacrifice" of a scholar
ship and a possibly impressive
career. In her attempt to repress
this resentment, she punishes
herself cruelly by cutting herself
off from work she loves.
There is no easy solution, but
Barbara should be aware that
she will get her homemaking
problems under control in time.
She should not find it necessary
to throw her many years of work
"down the drain," but should
look for a way to give some ex
pression to her talent in music.
If she finds it, she may be hap
pier with her husband.

Furnishings With a Sense of Style"
IPttpiHiira'i
If there was just one more holiday coming up, Potpourri would
have to move out of her corner in the office and put in a requisi
tion for a bigger desk. About last July we started getting Hallo
ween material, then the Thanksgiving recipes and ideas started
to roll in, and for about three weeks we've been receiving releases
keyed to Christmas. There's even one release about a meeting the
Methodist women are going to have next May in St. Louis.
There oughta be a law.
Friday night we decided it would be much easier to pack a
suitcase if we wore saris or saronss. And sandals would be easier
to pack than hih-heeled pumcs. Come to think of it. the clothes
women in the Eastern countries wear would be easier to wash
and iron, and they wouldn't take up so much room in a closet.
Saris are graceful, too. and never have to be taken in or let out
when the poundage changes.
Maybe Potpourri will just give up trying to be reasonably
fashionable by western standards, and be comfortable Instead. In
snite of the fact that our wardrobe is almost completely made up
of black, grey or other dark clothing, we never seem to come out
just right with the proper hats, gloves and shoes for the dresses,
suits and coats. We're not one of those frightfully clever females
who buy one outfit and then wear it for everything, adding a scarf
when they go shopping and a string of beads for evening.
The church editor has decided that she must look like a Pat,
instead of a Peg. Named Peggysnn Hutchinson, and called Peg
by her relatives and friends, the PH of this column is mystified by
the fact that a' lot of individuals, including some almost perfect
strangers as well as others who should be more observing, insist
on calling her Pat.
This must be given serious consideration. Why should a young
woman with blonde hair, green eyes, a trim figure and brisk
manner who always dresses well and wers interesting jewelry
impress the clients of the Tribune as a Pat. instead of a Peg?
Besides, her sister's name is Pat, and she doesn't even live in
Medford.
Potpourri met Norman Cousins while in the East last summer,
and now his editorials in The Saturday Review take, on even
more weight and meaning. One written for the October 19 issue
of the Review, headed "Sense and Satellites" is particularly sig
nificant.
He opened the article by pointing out that people of the West
ern world met the news of the satellite launching with "appre
hension and shock" "the shock' that comes from the discovery
that an adversary has been dangerously underestimated."
"Stern things are being said now in America about the in
adequacy of our own science and technology," Mr. Cousins con
tinued. "This is not where America has been lacking. It is not our
science and technology that have failed. Our failure and it is a
critical one has been in our reasoning, in our judgment, in our
moral imagination. The failure is a continuing one."
The writer points out that this failure goes back to 1945 and
says that America created the atom bomb while failing to recog
nize the implications of such a weapon. "We regarded the atomic,
bomb as just another weapon, rather than the beginning of a new
age on earth in which vast intelligence and imagination would be
required. We created the precedent for the use of nuclear explo
sives against human life. We issued no ultimatum, conducted no
demonstration, before dropping the bomb on live target. In this
way, we deprived ourselves of the strength that we would have
gained through a magnificent example in moral restraint. This
kind of strength might have been useful in creating the effective
agencies to prevent a world nuclear armaments race, of which the
hydrogen bomb and the intercontinental missiles are the latest
products."
Mr. Cousins writes of the "serious national delusion created by
our success in atomic energy," and reminds how leaders from
time to time declared that Russia could not possibly catch up
with the United States in this field for at least 20 years.
"And now a Russian earth satellite spins around the globe,
sending out signals which mock our delusions of superiority. We
are discovering, as have other nations through history, that a
superiority complex comes at a high price."
The editor of the Saturday Review believes that a mere "crash
program" is not what we need and wrote "The need today is the
same as it was in 1945, only it is infinitely more urgent now. The
principal need is not to conjure up more effective ways of des
troying the world. The principal need is to tap our intelligence and
moral imagination to the fullest in creating a working design for
a better tomorrow in which all the world's people can share."
Mr. Cousins added that "it is what we are willing to give up
in behalf of peace that will determine our effectiveness in pursu
ing the peace" and said "We can give everything we have to the
idea of a United Nations which has the powers and responsibili
ties of a world federation. Only such a federation will be in a po
sition to make sure that the launching-sites for satellites or space
ships will not be used for intercontinental hydrogen-bomb car
riers, but for carrying out the great adventures of tomorrow."
His closing words were "A great idea looking towards the de
velopment of a world community will circle the globe more
rapidly than the fastest satellite. It will give us access to the
majority of the world's people on whom security really depends.
It will also help to make life bearable on this planet before we
take off for other ones." O.S.
