M 151 Bouck St., yLpjatr The Family Council ' Editor'! note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers Each article is a snmmarv ol an actual rsport. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Mr. L. T. My son wants to marry a girl 20 years younger. Jimmy T. She's quite ma ture for her age. Mrs. L.T. At the ripe old age of 43 my bachelor son seems to have gone berserk. He has been going out with a girl of 23 and is thinking about marrying her. I have long wanted to see Jimmy marry and I have giv en him every encouragement to do so, but this is just plain ridiculpus. I met this girl and she is a mere child a very fresh and aggressive one, at that! I've warned Jimmy a mar riage like this is something hell live to regret. He is really middle-aged and this girl is just beginning to find herself. In another ten years she'll just be hitting her stride and he'll be ready for the rocking chair. Does it make sense? - James T. I took this girl out a few times as a kind of lark. I never meant anything by it. I had no thought that it would come to anything. I looked on her as just a cute kid. Well, you could have knock ed .me over with a feather when she told me she loved me and wanted marry me. Of course, I'm terrifically flat tered that a young, attractive girl would want me. But it's not just that. This girl, June, is very mature in many ways despite her appearance. I often feel she understands life a lot better than I do. I look very young for my age and I am very fit physical ly, so I don't feel as though I'm middle-aged. This girl really appeals to me. The Council: Should we give the green light to a mar riage in which there would be a 20 year age gap?. We can hardly do that. Should we tell a bachelor of 43 to turn down the one woman who has ever seri ously appealed to him as a marriage partner? We canst do that, either. All we can say is that Mrs. L. T. is too strenuous in her prophecies of disaster. Some May-December marriage turn out bad, it is true. But others turn out very well. Age should not be the only con sideration. We would suggest Jimmy avoid thinking solely In terms of age and consider some of the other factors couple's think about before 'marriage. Do they share similar inter ests? Do they have .he same and similar ambitions? Do they enjoy being alone to gether and can they get along as a couple with other people? Do they agree about how to spend money? If the answer to all these questions is yes, we'd be more willing tq, bet on the success of this marriage than one in which the partners are close in age and have a strong dif ference on any of above points. As for Mrs. L.T.'s threats about the future well, we just don't agree that a vig: orous man of 43 should be thinking in terms of "the rocking chair" within ten years. Certainly Mrs. L. T. herself sounds as though she's far from one. (Copyright 1958. General Features Corp.) EXPLAINS ACCIDENT Mt. Kisco, N.Y. Iff) Mrs. Dorothy Perry. 27, said Sun day she was driving to meet her husband early Saturday when their two cars crashed head-on, killing him and in juring her.

Cupp's Furniture Has New Owner Marvin Lucas, owner of Lucas Furniture in Lakeview and Klamath Falls has pur chased Cupp's Furniture Barn just south of Central Point on Highway 99. The store will be called Lucas and Howard Furniture, Lucas said yesterday. James R. Howard, also of Klamath Falls, is a partner in the store and a nephew of Marvin Lu cas. Luca's son Marvin George Lucas is also associ ated with the new store.. Lucas Fruniture was estab lished, in Klamath Falls in 1920. Lucas was graduated from Medford high srihool in 1920 where he was active in basketball and track. The new owner said he has been trying to buy a furni ture store here for several years before he bought out John Cupp last Tuesday. John Cupp has been in the furniture business in Med ford for 30 years. He owned Medford furniture and hard ware store at one time. Lucas said he will keep the same employees but will ex pand the line of furniture now being carried. Manager for the recently purchased store is yet to be determined, Lucas said. UAW Urges Price Reduction on Cars Detroit HP) The United Auto Workers today proposed to the big three auto comp anies that they extend pres ent contracts "into September, 1958 and put into effect a significant and meaningful price reduction on 1958 mod els." General Motors, Ford and Chrysler were preparing re plies which are expected to reject totally or in part the UAW's "trade" of a contract extension for a car price cut. The union proposed to re duce inventories and restore production and employment by (1) extending the present contract until September, (2) the big three firms cutting prices substantially on 1958 models, and (3) a joint peti tion by the firms and the union to the federal govern ment for "(A) a retroactive moratorium on the full amount of the 10 per cent passenger car excise tax ef fective for the remainder of the 1958 model run, and (B) federal legislation to extend the duration of unemployment compensation benefits." Drive To Curtail Absenteeism Pays Chicago (IP) A city's cam paign to reduce absenteeism has resulted in a drop of 25 per cent of the use of sick leave by Phoenix, Ariz., em ployees. The Public Personnel Asso ciation reports the Arizona capital encouraged employees to use city-provided health facilities and also tried to im prove their attitudes toward their jobs. In the past five years sick leave has dropped from an average of eight days per employee per year to less than six. Since sick leave in Phoenix can be accumulated indefi nitely 15 days a year em ployees benefit when they do not use alloted leave time. City officials hope to cut sick time further by promot ing periodic health checkups, requiring a medical visit for employees absent more than 30 days, and providing assist ance to departments troubled with above-average sick leave. Second Chance For College Entry Given Students Eugene Oregon's high school graduates, who are not admissible to the University of Oregon under the new state system's minimum ad mission requirements, will find that they are given an other opportunity to "make the grade"' through a special course program set up for them in the university's sum mer session. Students who do not make a C average in their high school work or have not pas sed successfully the college board examination can still qualify for admittance to the university by attending a spe cial summer session. An aver age grade of C in the nine hours of work and passing a special non-credit course in college orientation will quali fy the student. The nine hours of work may be of the student's choice in English composition, liter ature, social science, or math ematics and for these he will be given college credit. Individual counselling and group guidance will be pro vided the student in the course and will include work in read ing skills and study skills. Oregon's summer session opens June 23 for an eight week period closing Aug ust 15. ' Vending Machine Business Growing Chicago IIP) Tfie vending industry should reach a gross of four to five billion dollars by 1965, said William S. Fish man, president of the National Automatic Merchandising As sociation. "Until 1929 we were almost entirely a penny-ante business in the literal sense of the word," he said. "The industry was limited to the vending of bulk peanuts and penny gum. "About 1929'the cigaret ma chine became practical and in preasingly popular. There fol lowed the candy bar machine and the bottled soft drink ma chine." Fishman said that beginning in 1956 there was a "terrific growth and diversification which still is increasing in tempo year by year." "Automatic selling today is big business," Fishman said, estimating vending sales for 1957 at $2,023,320,000. "Informed estimates predict industry sales of between four and five billion dollars in 1965, an increase of more than 16,000 per cent in 40 years or, even more striking, nearly 500 per cent over 1950." 8 Million Seen in Chicago by 1980 Chiacago OPi The Chicago area will have a population of eight r- llion persons by 1980, according to Thomas Cqulter, chief executive offi cer of the Chicago Associa tion of Commerce. Coulter said the present population of 6,400,000 per sons in the area is increasing at the rate of 100,000 per year. He predicted that industrial expansion resulting from the completion of the St. Law rence seaway project would be the big factor in swelling, the number of residents. Coul ter also said the improvement of the Cal-Sag canal in the southern part of Cook county would play a part in this trend. The St. Lawrence seaway project is scheduled for com pletion in 1959 and the Cal Sag improvements by 1962. But Coulter said it would not be until 1965 that "things really will start to move" in industrial and population growth.
