Frank D. My second wife
thinks about the past.
Isabel D. My first hus
band was such a live wire.
Frank T I am a man of
50 with grown and married
children. My wife died three
yes ago, and last year I
met a gidow of about my
own age and we were mar
ried on afterward.
My new wife, Isabel, is a
good homemaker and I am

Russians Invade
Shetland Islands
ToSeek Deserter
Lerwick, Scotland (UPI)
Thirty shouting Russians in
vaded the bleak Shetland
g Islands Wednesday night in a
bizarre chase of a seaman who
slipped overboard from a So
viet ship in a desperate bid for
freedom.
Startled islanders, on late
night checks of their sheep
flocks and farms, watched
awestruck as the panic-stricken
fugitive bounded across the
heather-covered moors;
The faint rays of the "mid
night sun" showed his pur
suers landing in small boats
and racing after the defector.
He stumbled once or twice but
gained ground and the chase
finally stopped.
: The pursuers held a quick
discussion and then went back
out to their North Sea herring
fleet anchored off the west
coast.
The fugitive made it to a
cottage and a sympathetic
householder took him in and
called police.
The refugee, identified only
as an Estonian, pleaded with
authorities for asylum.
"They'll kill me if you send
me back, he said.
He was taken to the police
station where British Home
Office officials began ques
tioning him.
This morning, three Soviet
fishing boats steamed boldly
into Lerwick Harbor and the
senior captain demanded an
interview with the seaman.
He was turned down and the
Russians withdrew.
A spokesman at the Home
Office in London said no de
cision has been taken on
whether to protest the Rus
sian "invasion."
Teller Embarrassed '
By Police Cars
Portland (UPI) - Sev
eral police cars dashed to
the U. S. National motorbank
Thursday when a holdup
alarm sounded but they dis
covered an embarrassed young
woman teller had accidentally
touched the alarm button.
Coal accounts for 50 per
cent of the total fuel consump
tion by the United States ce
ment industry during a year.
py and comfortable, but no
matter what I do Isabel
doesn't seem to be satisfied
with me. She keeps talking
about the wonderful times she
always had with her first
husband ' and all her old
friends. Sometimes she cries
or suddenly breaks out into
loud laughing and says she
thought of something funny
her first husband told her.
My first wife was a very
wonderful woman, but I
figure what's past is done
with and that's that. Even if
I think of her sometimes, I
don't talk to Isabel about it.
Isabel D. My first hus
band was dead just a little
over a year when I married
Frank, so naturally every
thing is fresher with me than
it is with him. I haven't had
as much time to forget.
My first husband was as
different from Frank as night
from day. He was a real live
wire, always making jokes
and cutting up and everyone
around him always had a
swell time.
Frank is a very good man,
but life with him is so quiet.
I'm just not used to it. I don't
think I'm being disloyal if I
think about the past.
Even my children tell me
they think of the swell times
they had with their father.
When we get together we
have a good time just talking
about some of the things we
all used to do together. It
doesn't mean I'm not happy
with Frank.
.
The Council: The experi
ences of a fim marriage can
sometimes help enrich a sec
ond marriage or they can
stand in the way of the sec
ond marriage's ever really
developing.
- Isabel's first marriage
seems to stand in the way. It
is possible she remarried be
fore she was fully ready for
it,- but the factors that led
her to take the step must
have been strong. She should
be aware of them in order to
make the most of her present
marriage. ,
As long as she is so com
pletely dominated by the
memory of her first husband,
Isabel cannot really get to
know Frank. Her first hus
band was evidently a vital,
exuberant person who force
fully impressed his personali
ty on others. Probably it is
much harder to get to know
Frank, but he undoubtedly
has fine and interesting quali
ties beneath his quieter ex
terior. Isabel seems to expect her
second husband to be an
exact substitute for her first.
But this is impossible. Her
relationship with Frank will
be different in thousands of
ways from her relationship
with the first man.
When she makes the effort
to come out of the past
enough to form vital ties with
her present husband, she may
be surprised to find she can
enjoy life with him in a com
pletely new way.
