MZDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Family Council Thursday, January 23, 1958 . 1 I " - - I .. . Jack D. Bea isn't doing right by her father. Beatiic D. , I couldn't wound my mother. Jck D. My wife and I re having quite a dispute over her parents. Her mother and father were divorced some ten years ago and haven't seen each other since. Her father remarried, but is now separated from his second wife. He isn't a well man and lives quite far from us. He has written that he would like to come to see us some holiday. That's the only time he can get away from his business. My wife invites her mother k . for every holiday. That's okay with me, except I don't think it s fair to leave out the old man all the time. I tell Bea she is not doing right by her father, but she says her moth er comes first. Beatrice D. My mother has always spent every holi day with us and she would be wounded terribly if I told her I wanted to invite my father instead. I wouldn't even dare suggest such a thing. The truth is I would like to see my father and I've told him I'd be glad to have him any time but not on a holi day. He says the holiday is the only time he can make it. Well, if he can't arrange some thing for himself in order to see his own daughter and grandchildren, I don't know what I'm supposed to do about it. I don't see why Jack should I interfere in this business, any way. They're not his parents. I have a right to do as I like about them. The Council Beatrice should not resent her hus band's "interference." His con cern reflects his interest in his entire family. Possibly he would like his children to know their grandfather. Per haps, as a man, he can't help identifying with another man. It bothers him that a child's loyalty can be dedicated ex clusively to one parent. It is also possible that Jack sympathizes with Beatrice's own definite desire to see her father. According to her own account, it is really fear of her mother that prevents her from arranging this. Beatrice must accept the fact that divorce necessarily entails hurt feelings. The old wounds open easily usually on both sides. Out of fear of hurting her mother, Beatrice continues to hurt her father. The only answer we can see is for Beatrice to follow her own heart. She should be willing to accept her father's word that he can only make the visit on a holiday. She should tell her mother hon estly that she wishes to see her father on some particular occasion. ' It is possible that Beatrice's mother would not be quite as wounded as she believes. But even if the wound does go deep, Beatrice should recog nize that she has. a right to follow her own impulses in such an important matter. (Copyright 1958, General Features Corp.) . Marine Sentenced To Herd Labor Yokosuka, Japan (TO Ma rine Sgt. Adrian A. McLane, Philadelphia, has been sen tenced of two years confine ment at hard labor for cruelty to prisoners at the Sasebo Na val Base brig. The husky, 6-foot, 200 pound former assistant brig warden also was sentenced to forfeiture of all pay and allowances for the confine Inent period, reduction to the rank of private and dishonor able discharge from the service. The defense apparently was shocked at the severity of the sentence. The defense had anticipated at the worst a bad conduct discharge, not a dishonorable discharge. DRUNKS AMAZE CHIEF Knoxville, Tenn.
