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.

know how it will affect her.
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."

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.
The first printing press on
the American continent was
used by Spaniards in Mexico
in 1539.

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.
