MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SXTOf Family Council Mr. M. F. John ought to quit carrying that torch. John F. I'll show them all I'll win in the end. Mn. M. F. I am very much upset about the way my 28-year-old son, John, has been carrying the torch for a girl who will never marry him. Sunday, January 19, 1958 John has been in love with Ida for the past three years, and has courted her steadily while other suitors have come and gone. This girl is pretty and has a nice personality, but I don't see anything so very different about her. John has had better girl friends. I thought John ought to give up after the first year, but he insisted nobody else would do. Now, however, he has run into real competition. Ida has been running around with the wealthiest young man in our community. This man is very handsome. I think she keeps John around just to play him off against the other man. John F. Mom is right about one thing nobody but Ida will do for me. If I can't have her I'll be a bachelor all my life. Mom keeps tell ing me that I'd better be care ful because Im going to get hurt. But I've gotten hurt so much already I figure I can take it if there's still a chance I can win. Some of my friends say Ida just uses me for what she can get out of me and that I'm a prize sucker. Sometimes I think they're right. But at other times Ida tells me that I'm her only real friend. She says she loves me like a broth er. Well, anyway, I'm prepared to slug it out with anyone for Ida. I don't care how many Cadillacs this other guy owns. Th Council: Persistence is virtue. But is John's attitude persistence or insistence? The persistent suitor will usually drive toward his goal, avoiding every possibility of getting hurt, like a quarter back trying to evade the tacklers. He knows, however, that skill and effort can't guarantee his success. Some times he is tackled and loses the ball. Then there's nothing to do but accept that single defeat. Unfortunately, the love game isn't quite so clear-cut. John suspects that he has lost the game, that he is a "prize iucker," but can he be sure? We have a suspicion that John already knows the score of this game and is preparing to nurse his wounds as a bachelor all his life. If Ida suddenly turned around and said yes, it is doubtful wheth er John would be entirely joyful. He wants to go on get ting hurt. If he didn't he couldn't possibly love a girl he suspects of using him. We aren't In favor of John's bowing out because of the fel low with the Cadillacs. We do think he ought to try to seek happiness and avid pain. Take it from there, John, and see where it leads. (COPYRIGHT 1958. GEN ERAL FEATURES CORP.)
