Medford, Or., Wednesday, November 5, 1958 3 Frank S.-She's trying to support her family in Europe. Elsa S-Wouldnt he do the same for his family? Frank S-My wife is Euro pean. "We met nearly 15 years ago when I was a GI overseas. "We have been married 12 years and have three chil dren. I have a good job and we could be very comfort able and happy if my wife would'nt try to support her family in Europe. When I was overseas I was very generous with Elsa's family. I was very much in love, and it was hard seeing her family having such a rough time of it. Maybe I gave them the ' wrong idea, that things come so easy over here it means nothing to share with them. But after all, things are different here and I want my kids to have what the others have. Elsa has visited her fam ily after each of the kids was born. That was quite a drain on our budget, too. At this rate we'll never be able to take care of our future. Elia S-Frank is being very unfair. Even if my family lived here in the States, I would have to give them gifts from time to time. Just be cause Frank sees a package going to Europe he explodes. And why should he act that way? My family really needs the things I send. If they didn't need it so much he wouldn't resent it, but would! think it natural tor me to want to send them gifts. Frank doesn't understand that it makes me just as un happy as it does him to have to deprive our kids of things. It is true that I -sometimes send more than I should to my parents and sisters and their families, but wouldn't he do the same for his fam ily? Aren't we supposed to share alike-and that includes responsibilities? It annoys me when my fam ily in Europe sends hints, but what can I do? The Council: Behind the conflict between husband and wife there is a deeper conflict in Elsa's own mind. Elsa agrees that it makes her unhappy to deprive her own children of material benefits. But it also makes her feel guilty and unhappy to be enjoying more pros perity than her family in Europe. It is not an easy conflict to resolve, yet Elsa must find a way out Which satisfies her self and her husband. Frank agreed to support her and their children when they mar ried. He may want to extend his responsibilities a bit fur ther, but there should be some limit to what he does for her parents, sisters or "cousins by the dozens." Elsa should recognize that broadly speaking, there are two choices: (1) To reduce herself and her children to economic equality with her relatives in Europe; or (2) To accept the fact that she and her children will enjoy more prosperity than her family in Europe. ' Nobody can tell Elsa how far she ought to go in either direction. This is a matter she must have out with her own conscience-and her husband. We would suggest that Elsa come to Frank with a fair appraisal of what she feels she sincerely can and should do for her European family in the years ahead. It is possi ble that Frank will be quite reasonable if Elsa is willing to stick to certain limits. Coffee, Sandwich Champs In Television Crowned On Busy Election Night By WILLIAM EWALD UPI Correspondent New York (CPD All three networks will be claiming victories over each other to day. But on the basis of late returns, here is the straight elec tion night dope: 1. At NBC T V, staffers consumed 45 gallons of cof- William Ewald fee, 1,100 sand wiches, 12 layer cakes, 15 gal lons of potato salad, 8 gallons of baked beans and 48 cherry, apple, pumpkin and cocoanut custard pies. 2. At CBS-TV, staffers waded into 45 gallons of cof fee, 836 sandwiches, 1,000 pieces of pastry and 3 bagels. It was suggested that some partisan might have sneaked the bagels in from the Rocke-feller-Harriman campaign. 3. At ABC-TV, the assem bled horde downed 57 gallons of coffee, 1,000 assorted sand wiches and 500 pieces of baked goods including cheese cakes, brownies and chocolate layers, all of which were sup plied by the sponsor who, in cidentally, makes cheesecakes, brownies and chocolate layers. NBC Sandwich Champ As I ses it, this gives NBC TV the victory in sandwiches, naked beans, potato salad and peach, apple, cherry and coco nut custard pies. ABC- clear- In any case, it will be easier1 to arrive at a compromise if the air is cleared of some of Elsa's emotional conflicts and the husband and wife set out to make a decision in terms of actual dollars and cents. ly gets the win in coffee and cheesecake and brownies. And CBS-TV came up with a clear lead in pastry as well as bagels, although the latter victory is a hollow one. Aside from gustatory mat ters, these other things hap pened on TV: All three networks trotted out awesome mechanical mon sters with names like UNI VAC, RAMAC, and UEDPS, but at one network, NBC-TV, two newsmen could be spotted working in green eye shades . . . CBS-TV's" Doug Edwards reported over the air that a lady in Michigan had accused the network of placing a man inside UNIVAC to write out all those fancy predictions. The first prediction of UNI VAC, the wizard of odds, took place at 6:24 pjn. (c.s.t.) when it gave 100-1 odds that the Democrats would sweep both houses . . . NBC-TV's RAMAC made its first prognostication at 8:22 p.m. when it said the new House would have 271 Democrats . . . around 9:30 p jn. ABC-TV's electronic brain said there would be 290 Democrats in the House and 62 in the Senate. Apologies Made Boo-Boos Department: ABC-TV's John Daly referred iO the Midwest as the "Mid east" and later apologized A local CBS-TV announcer re ferred to Democrat Chester Bowles as a Republican and later apologized ... David Brinkley of NBC-TV got an indignant call about classify ing West Virginia with the southern bloc and he apolo gized . . ABC-TV's John Van dercook called the network's electronic computer a "com' muter," but he didn't opolo- gize I guess he figured the machine wasn't listening. WENDELL H.
