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.

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.
