Each responsible agencies and counselors. Hita R. My sister is making her husband too dependent. Phyllis D.-eI want to set him on his feet. Rita R. I am trying to help my younger sister who is mak ing a big mistake, I feel, in re lation to her married life. When she nd her husband married five years ago, he had a very low paying job. She con tinued working tnd saving and finally wa bl to borrow enough my to open a small business. Sine then she has been working like a dog to build up the business. Her hus band isn't lazy, but he leaves the biggest responsibilities to her. My sister is nearly 30. and it is time she started having a family, but she says it will take a few more years for the business to provide a good living for them. I think she is making her husband much too dependent on her. Phyllis D. I can't see what's wrong with a woman's helping out with the financial burden if she can do it. I know I've had a lot of satisfaction out of build ing up this business. In the end we will have something really worthwhile. My husband is not the kind of man who just wants to live off his wife's earnings. He is intelli gent and hard-working, but he lacks courage, initiative, aggres siveness. He would get nowhere if I didn't give him a bit of a lift. If I can succeed in really setting him on his feet, I know he'll be able to carry on from there. Of course, I didn't want to put ive by off family raising quite so long, but I feel I am warking for the future happiness of a family. The Council: We certainly wouldn't outlaw "a woman's helping out with the financial burden if she can do it," but when to help and how much for what length of time must be a matter for individual considera tion. Phyllis' talk of setting her hus band on his feet and her insis tence upon the fact "he would get nowhere" without her help in dicates, in her case, the help has probably gone much too far. Surely, her husband is aware of the fact she considers him pretty hopeless as a breadwiner. Since this is his main responsibility as a man, the hurt to his pride must be quite severe even though he may conceal it from himself. Phyllis has in effect given up her feminine role entirely for the time being. Right now she enjoys exercising her power in another direction. She evidently feels very sure her feminine role will wait for her until she is ready for it. She may find emo tions and biology are not at the beck and call of the mind. She may feel robbed and resentful to ward her husband if things don't turn out just as she planned. Our guess is that it is about time Phyllis turned over the breadwinning responsibility to her husband and she should make up her mind to be satisfied with what he can earn, if he does his best. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.) Is That So? By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist Old MacDonald had a farm. And on this farm he grew some O alfaflfa, and he had a cow and sold the milk to the nearby city. His orchards and fields produced fine fruit and vegetables. That was five years ago. To day, on his former rich acres there are now 600 ranch-style houses, a shopping center and a yas station. And xhat happened to Mac Donald is happening all over the country the finest farmland In the country is being gobbled up by real estate developers, fac tories, broader highways, length ened airplane runways, and parking lots. Dangerous Pace This reduction of our irre placeable, fertile farmland is proceeding at a dangerous pace while our population is soaring. Within our lifetime, by 1975, every one of our present 400, 000,000 acres will be needed to feed the estimated 220,000,000 people! Look at what has happened to Connecticut. It has already lost one-third of its original cultiva ble land. In Ohio, Indiana, Flor ida, Georgia and Texas more than a million acres were taken from each state within the past 15 years. As it now stands, about 10 per cent of our nation's orig inal endowment of choice land has become urbanized according "EVERYTHING IS DANGEROUS TO HIM THAT IS AFRAID Of IT" '(Author's Nam ft-low) There is now no good rea son wfry anyone, should wor ry about a possible disease thy think thy might have.

HEATH'S o Medical Center PHARMACY C3 North Central O-.-ofatlon by Benjamin Whieheote (1610-1633) Copyngh 1957 (11W3) to Dr. Williams In a recent arti cle in Coronet. Oh sure, you say, we can get more out of an acre today with our new. machinery, fertilizers, hybrids, and improved farming techniques. Certainly, about 36 per cent increase but that, too, will come to a limit. Land can only be crowded to a certain ex tent. Other farmland is being car ried away in dust clouds. Much of it is being washed into rivers. Now I don't believe in being an alarmist but we must face up to the future and look at this steadily. What can be done to day? Prevent Erosion Farmland can be used better to prevent soil erosion: it can be terraced, contour -plowed, new machinery can be used, flood prevention structures built, but a much greater need faces Amer ica. That is the conservation of prime valley farmland, usually near large towns and cities. Beautiful, fertile Santa Clara county, California, gave a good part of the answer. The county set aside 26 square miles of its remaining fertile farmlands as a "greenbelt," to be used exclu sively for growing crops and all other uses of the land pro hibited. And the taxes for those farmers are equitably adjusted for farmland use, not at devel opment appraisals. The developments, meanwhile, are placed in lands of low fer tility and their value is higher because they lie beyond the fer tile greenbelt. Suctf preservation can and must be done by communities and states . . . only this way will our food production in the com ing decades be sustained and even increased by the use of modern farming practices.
