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.
