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. ;

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.

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.

a psychological defense mech
anism against the shock that
one can be expected to exper
ience when told that he has
been brushed by that fearful
and mysterious disease. 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.
