The Family Council
Editor, not: Th Fmll, CouncU eonusti of . fnd.e a psTcbtatrlst.
I?.'V".e": L "eSP.a.P" f.fi'or Jitor Jnd tWo wr!ier. 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.

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

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.
