TWELVE MEDFOF.D (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE - TtI&j. February 28, 1958 The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Council consist of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice: it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Helen A. I don't think I really love him. Gerald D. She can't leave me high and dry. Helen A. I have gotten myself into one terrible mess and I don't know how to find my way out. Two years ago I fell in love with one of the married men working in my office. We went oyt on a few dates and then became intimate. He told me he was very unhappy with his wife and he finally left her and we went to live to gether. At last his wife agreed to a divorce and things should be--come final very soon. But now Jerry and I don't know wheth er we want to get married. We have not gotten along well and I am beginning to see that I don't really love him. But everyone says I'd be a fool if I didn't marry him for the sake of my own reputation. Gerald D. I left my wife and baby for Helen's sake and now she talks about walking out and leaving me high and dry- She tells me to go back to my wife. But my wife has found someone else and does n't want me any more. It's true that Helen and I have fought like cats and dogs, but I think that's be cause we've been so nervous not knowing whether or not the divorce was going through and what our status was going to be. Once we are really man and wife things will straight en out. The way things are now, everyone knows what happen ed and blames me for the way I treated my wife. If Helen and I don't get married I'll be blamed even more and we'll both be laughing stocks. The Council: Helen and Gerald seem to have gotten the grotesque notion that their decision to marry or not mar ry runs a close second to Sputnik in the public's inter est. In reality, it is doubtful whether anyone outside of I Helen's family cares whether not she marries Gerald. 42fcwh bother to condemn l jiduct will not respect he minute she flashes a linage license. It is most unlikely that the 'breakup of the relationship w o u i a mane a laugmuK stock" of anyone. The few per sons "in the know" can find funnier stories on TV. Gerald is also overly con cerned about being left "high and dry." If he tries, he can doubtless find another woman foolish enough to become in volved with him. That leaves this childish, self - seeking pair without much reason for getting mar ried. By their own admission they merely wish to use each other for temporary expedi ency. , The question of whether or not they can ever find a worthwhile relationship and a decent life still rests with them. This depends on wheth er or not they are ready to make drastic changes in their outlook, their view of mar riage, their view of each oth er. They would have to learn to think in terms of contribut ing to another's happiness and of building a lasting, mean ingful relationship. They badly need guidance toward that end from a clergy man or trained social worker. (Copyright 1958.

Minnesota is 400 miles long and 350 miles wide. Car Minus Wheels, Propelled by Fans, Predicted in Future Detroit W A Detroit de signer says the car of tomor row with no wheels isn't far off. Carl Reynolds, who played a major role in the design of automobile tail fins, said the "wheelless" car could be built now, but only on an experi mental basis. Reynolds said the car would be propelled by ducted fans and would glide along about two feet above the ground. It could climb to al titudes of 100 feet but he said this would have to be con trolled to prevent "hedge hopping." "In 20 years people will be riding in the wheelless car," he said. "Safety will no lon ger depend on tire wear and road surface conditions." The car would be construct ed of a durable, alloy-like magnesium of aluminum which will allow a small light weight turbine engine to be used. The car will be much larger than today's models and the tail section will sweep back following an aerody namic shape. No Flight of Fancy Reynolds gave his predic tion of the future at a meet ing of some 100 of the nation's leading product designers. The occasion was the three day Industrial Designers In stitute national conference. He reminded listeners that "This is no flight of fancy. The engineering develop ments leading to a vastly im proved automobile have been REDS SHELL QUEMOY Taipeh, Formosa (IP) Com munist Chinese artillery lobbed 22 shells onto the Na tionalist Chinese - held off shore, island of Quemoy Thursday but failed to cause any damage, the Nationalist Defense Ministry reported today.

Reynolds said simi lar turbine engines will be used in a system with ducted fans to generate gas pressures that will be directed to pro pelling the car, steering it and braking it. Automatic Steering Traffic safety will take a giant stride forward with the wheelless car, he explained. "Upon limited access high ways for inter-city travel, electronic devices, perhaps in volving a 'guide beam' or ra diation system, will provide automatic steering and speed control." For people who have park ing problems, the wheelless car will put the convenience of power steering in the back seat. The wheelless car will be able to operate sideways, making parking easier. And Reynolds says that if you are thinking of a trip to Europe that also can be ar ranged with the wheelless car. He said he could drive over calm water and theoretically fly the Atlantic, barring se vere up and down drafts. "But you'd have to have a good navigator aboard," he added. " Salem (W Fayette I.
