MAIL TRIBUNE. 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.
