Family Council Morton S. I want time to decide. Monica F. He is old enough to make up his mind fast. Morion S. I am a widow er in my early 60s and my daughter, with whom I have been living for the past four years, has been urging me to marry again. A few months ago she in troduced me to an attractive widow. This woman is wealth ier than I am and is used to a very different kind of life from the one I have known. Nevertheless, she says she cares for me and wants to marry me. I would like to go out with her for some time to see how we get along together, but she says we are mature indi viduals and should be able to make up our minds now. If I can't decide now, she says she doesn't want to see me anymore. My daughter says she is right. I feel that my daughter is beginning to find me a burden in her home. She doesn't have to go to such extremes to get rid of me. I can live by myself. Monica F. It is very un fair of Dad to say I want to get rid of him. He knows I love him and would be glad to have him with me as long as he wants to stay. I am only thinking of his welfare. I I feel he would be happier with a wife and companion of his own age. This widow has explained to me that she has gone out with several men in the past few years. She says they fall into a comfortable relation ship with her and forget all about marriage. She's just that kind of person. She says she's lonely and doesn't want any more of these "just friends" relationships. All this is very understand able to me. I don't see why Dad should be so suspicious. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose by this mar riage. He is certainly old enough to be able to make up his mind fast. The Council: Monica has made a big mistake by intrud ing herself into this situation. Her work was finished after she made the introduction. Nobody of any age" likes to be railroaded into marriage. ' "When a contract is placed be fore a man and he is urged by two women to sign on the dotted line fast he has no alternative but to sign un der duiess or yell for help, and run. Possibly the widow has some justification for the par ticular line she has adopted, but Morton should have had the chance to consider wheth er he is ready 'to take her up on it or to risk losing her. In any case, his decision would be related only to the par ticular elements involved in the case. Monica has confused things by introducing a third con sideration is the whole thing a plot on the part of the two women to get Morton out of his daughter's home? It is natural for Morton to have some doubts as to wheth er he is in his daughter's way, even if he knows he is loved. Our advice to Monica is to step completely out of the picture. Morton ought to try to get the widow to see him on a friendly basis for a little longer, because they have really gotten off to a false start. ; (Copyright 19SS, General Features Corp.)

AND A HAT 77P TO HAROLD O.ANDREW, VEGO BBACrfj FLORIDA Is That So? By OLGA BURNS The only insect I can think of that has been named for the skunk is the chinch bug, one of the champion grain destroyers of the continent, and how he happened to be so named is a little involved. It is necessary to go back several hundred years to the days of medieval Spain and . 9-i-sa Portugal whose inhabitants began to find their beds in fested with a bug so evil smelling that it reminded them of the chinca, or skunk, as the latter was called in the corrupt Latin of the day. Centuries later, when the Spaniards arrived in Mexico and started north, they dis covered a native bug that looked and smelled like the bedbugs at home. And so they called it the chincha. As for how the English- speaking peoples, the princi ple settlers of North America, came to give the bug a Span ish name, it happened this way. Our ancestors first be came aware of the chinch bug in those territories of theirs that were adjacent to the Spanish. And since they soon had reason to regard the bug as a menace, and since the Span iards had already named him, they naturally gave it a Span ish name. ' " The chinch bug first came to historic notice in the United States when he completely destroyed the North Carolina wheat crop in 1785. That was near Spanish territory, and the damage the insect did was so complete, wheat raising was abandoned there for years. Appalling Damage As our ancestors advanced into the Middle West and the South, they at first had no trouble with the chinch bug. The latter seemed to follow them by a few years, but when he caught up, .he did appalling damage. The evil - smelling insects both - walked and flew, and once they got into a field of wheat or corn, they settled in clouds on every plant, sucking its juices dry. In one banner day, 60,000,000 were caught on the edge of a field a half a mile long. The number was estimated on the basis of the number of bugs it took to fill a bushel basket. Why the chinch bugs both ered white farmers when they hadn't been a problem for the agricultural Indians was found due to these reasons: the whites planted more and bigger crops the bugs liked, thus increasing the chinch bug's food supply, and the Indians usually burned over the land, thus destroying' most of the chinch bug eggs : and much of the cover it needed for hibernation.

ARE THEY MY REAL PARENTS? How could this eighteen year old girl know for sure? Four teen years earlier, when war Tvas raging in Europe, she had been separated from her par ents who were thrown into a slave-labor camp. Since then, the parents had tried vainly to trace their daughter. At last, through one of the overseas aid Programs of America's re ligious faiths, the family was re-united. But only when the young girl heard her mother sing a hauntingly familiar lull aby did she know for sure they were her parents.

For Neuberger, due to his talks with medical authorities, knows better than the average layman that cured cancer pa tients are not rare. They are numerous enough to have formed an organization. Clue in Article Nevertheless, one can hard ly expect the senator to re act as calmly about his con dition as though a garage me chanic had just told him his auto battery might not make it through the winter. A good clue to the inner feelings of anyone under cancer treat ment, and especially Neuber ger, Is found In an article the senator wrote last year for Eagle magazine. It began by describing a radiation treat ment he had observed on a woman patient: "Would the treatment be successful? Would it arrest the deadly march through her system of malignant cells? Would she survive? "These questions flashed ac ross the innermost frontier of my mind. Another question lurked there, too. Would the woman on the table ever know a moment's peace or contentment again? During her entire life, be it long or short, could she ever spend a fleeting hour free of anx iety and terror? Would each twinge of pain mean that the fatal killer had returned? "The woman on the table was obviously younger than my wife or I. What if it had been one of us on that table beneath the cone the cone from which came the unseen rays that might mean a re prieve, if only the malignancy had been detected in time? Cold drops of perspiration MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, September 9. 193S 1 dotted my forehead as I har bored these thoughts." Knowing that the cobalt bomb radiation treatment was not a sure cure, Neuberger added that he wondered why "the richest nation on earth was not investing more of its effort, resources and wealth toward the possible liberation of mankind from cancer. Sure ly few battle fronts could be more crucial." Whatever the future may hold for Sen. Neuberger, phys ically speaking, his zeal for promoting cancer research is sure to become more pronoun ced. And though he may be advised and personally be tempted to justify a return to private life by his illness, Neu berger will grasp quicker than most that the effectiveness of his appeals for anti-cancer work will be far greater from high office than from any for um open to the private citizen. There may never again be quite so dramatic a case of the public man promoting a cam paign against the disease from which he suffered as that of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the March of Dimes for polio re search, which years later brought the Salk vaccine with its miraculous promise of safe guards against this child crip--pier. But the principle will al ways hold that effective ac tion will most readily flow from the efforts of men who have been given the oppor tunities and power of high office with which to match their concern that something be done.
