14 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, May 29, 1958 The Family Council Editor's 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 summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt vita by responsible agencies and counselors. Hilda W. She must leave her husband. Nerma S. "My mother ft ould be heartbroken. Hilda V I have a very good friend who is a fine, in telligent woman, yet seems to make a mess of everything. Norma had a very unhappy r&t marriage and was di vorced after two years. I ad Giae& her to wait, but she plunged headlong into a sec OSi marriage to a man who (Sbtously wasn't her type. J?.t other day I went to tisit Norma and found her CEyng on the floor. There wert marks all over her face 8niJ back, and she said her fiusband had hit her when he Isernd she was going to have 3 baby. X asked her to come home fcfth m at once and to leave tfti horrible man, but she re iue3. She says she doesn't 4?e leave him now, but I don't see how she can do :$?Aerwise. Swma S. I have always thought only of myself in the past and it didn't bring me aJty happiness. I see now what 1 was wrong. I have others to think of besides my self. ' There is, first of all, my baby. I want my child to have a home, and a father. I don't want to have to put my child in a nursery while I go to work to support us. I know I could never depend upon support if I left my husband. There is, secondly, my mother. She is not a well woman. She was heartbroken by the failure of my first mar riage. She warned me against this one and she'll be so heartbroken if I tell her about the mess I'm in that I don't Is That So? BARBARY SHEEP HAS A LONG BEARD AND TAIL Tunis, May 28 Via TWA Lions may be extinct here, as in Algeria, but the goat-like Barbary sheep are not. I've seen one and assertedly eaten part of another. We flew south to a place in the desert I can neither name nor spell. On the way we passed over the mountains of Khmiria and Majerda whose forests contain Barbary red deer, jackal and boar as well as the sheep. We also saw an ancient ruin on the edge of the ' desert, probably Carthaginian, be cause the old republic got its raw materials for trade from Central Africa, across the Sahara slaves, hides, ivory, gold. When we reached our des tination, the first thing I saw except date palms, sand and flat-topped houses was a Barbary sheep, a young ram and a pet. I could tell his kind by the tail and beard. Most sheep have short tails and beards. The Barbary's are long in comparison. This one's tail almost reached his knees. His beard, though short, was distinctly promis ing. The way he looked at me from under his heavy, curving horns made me note with sat isfaction the heavy camel's hair thong by which his Arab master held him. The Arab haI captured the sheep when ha was a young lamb in a rocky part of the desert. He said that somehow they manage to live in the desert as well as in the mountains. How they do it is a mystery. They stay in rocky hills of the Sahara. In the day they lie in shallow caves or on shelves of rock out of the sun. Their color makes them almost in visible, except for lambs which have a reddish tinge. They travel either alone or by families. Whether or not that Arab caught that ram, as he said, I don't know. But the rest of what he told me about their habits is vouched for by men I Relieve and by what I've read. As for the one I allegedly helped eat, all I know is it avas mutton, and very good, too, despite being eaten in ana's fingers.

I feel I have made my mis i takes and must take my pun ishment. The Council: Hilda is faced with a hopeless challenge when she tries to help a friend ?ost in such murky waters as the ones which threaten to engulf Norma. When an intelligent woman claims she plans to remain with a husband who beats her for the sake of her unborn child and her sick mother, we suspect that there is more in this case than meets the eye. Does Norma really think she is preparing the way for a home for a child, after get ting a sample of her hus band's reaction to this blessed event? Does she really believe the state of her personal affairs can be kept from her mother for any length of time? Will she really take beatings rath er than upset her mother? Normally intelligent wom en in their right minds don't think this way. If Norma seriously wants to save this marriage and make a home for her child, she will run, not walk, to the nearest family counseling service operated by a civic or religious organization. She will try to get expert help for herself and her husband She will try 'to find out' if she and her husband can make the changes in them selves and their relationship necessary before they can make a decent home for a child. She will have to build such a home on basis far firmer than her desire to spare mother and to take her "punishment." (Copyright 1958, General Features Corp.)

Realtors Plan Buy Home Drive Local realtors are making plans to participate with thousands of others through out the country in a "Buy a Home First" campaign now being launched by the Nation al Association of Real Estate Boards. "A home is the best buy on the market today," Cap Vandagrift, president of the Medford Realty Board, said in calling attention to the campaign. He added that the current home market is prob ably more favorable to the buyer than any time in recent history, and that real estate values generally, more than any others, hold their own whether it is the day of the declining dollar or the era of hard money. Making monthly payments on a home, he noted, is the easiest and surest form of sav ings for the average family. Mortgage interest payments and real estate taxes are de ductible from federal and state income tax returns, and among the intangible bene fits realized from home own ership are peace of mind, a sense of "belonging" to the community, responsibili ty and independence. Martin Barnett, chairman for the local promotion, sug gested that the safest and surest way for local citizens to get the best home buy for their money is to see members of the Medford Realty Board.

LEA MOTORS Bartlett at 5th Medford Group Fights Last Ditch Battle On Integration Arlington, Va. (UPI) A group of Arlington County segregationists, in a last-ditch battle against integration of their schools, came up with an integration plan of their own today with the avowed purpose of . closing , Negro schools. In a "tit for tat" proposi tion announced Wednesday night, the Arlington chapter of the Defenders of State Sov ereignty., and Individual Lib erties said it would try to close "one Negro school for every white school" under a state law that would close any school in which the races were mixed. Jack Rathbone, executive secretary of the group, an nounced the plan within hours after school officials said seven more Negro stu dents had applied for Sep tember admission to white schools in the Washington suburban county. A federal court had already ordered the county to admit seven other Negro students to white schools in September. Would Close If Negroes were admitted to white schools under the court order, those schools would close automatically un der state law. Negro schools in the county would remain open under the law, however, since they would remain seg regated. The law was passed by the General Assembly in 1956 to guarantee continued public school segregation in the state. Rathbone said members of the chapter, numbering 1,200 would have their own chil dren apply for entrance to the Negro schools. Enough par ents had volunteered to apply for their children, he said, "to close as many schools as they 'Negroes) do." Parisians Afraid Of De Gaulle Rule Paris (UPI) This lovely city awoke today transformed by an emotion it had almost forgotten. Suddenly it was afraid. On Wednesday there were jokes' about the political sit uation "The Tumbrils carts that hauled aristocrats to the guillotine during the French Revolution this year will have taxicab meters be cause nothing is free in France any more not even a ride to the guillotine.". Today they seemed as flat as yesterday's champagne. Suddenly it was no longer fashionable to pretend that General Charles de Gaulle would simply be the 26th pre mier since the war. Those who had imbibed this recipe for apathy were suffering from a repentant hangover. For as dawn broke on a fateful day there was no long er the lightest doubt that rightly or wrongly thousands and perhaps millions of Frenchman fear De Gaulle and his associates with an intensity that could, if not allayed, mean civil war.
