They know something is going to snap. They don't know when - or whether the results will be as calamitous as they were in 1906 when a San Andreas quake destroyed San Francisco. It could happen Friday; or five, or 25 years, from how. The San Andreas Fault, a rift in the earth's crust run ning northwestward half the length of California from the Mexican border into the Pa cific, has been spawning earthquakes for uncounted thousands of years. Earth's Crust Drifts Vast blocks of the crust are crawling in different direc tions on either side of the fault. Theories differ as to why this happens. But the ex perts agree that these slow drifting movements, averag ing about two inches a year now, create straips that kick off quakes. Measurement of these movements provides diagnos tic if not prognostic clues. With them, scientists can tell when the "blood pressure" is building, up dangerously even if they cannot forecast when the stroke will come. The Coast and Geodetic Sur vey has been taking blood pressure readings along the San Andreas fault for half a fa) si SAVE HOURS OF IRONING EVERY WEEK! Only 10 With your operating OR EVEN A MONTH Contracts Medford's Leading Appliance century. In recent decades it has been systematically check ing and rechecking specific areas to measure the rate of crustal movements on either side of the fault. A party of 17 men under Lt. Jack E. Guth is now re examining sections of the fault, last surveyed in 1938 and 1949, south of Maricopa and north of Taft. A similar survey will be conducted next year in the vicinity of Peta luma, north of San Francisco, and at Monterey Bay in 1961. Earthquakes Inevitable The earth's rocky crust has a certain amount of elasticity. But it can't be stretched in definitely. The time must come when there occurs what the scientists call "an elastic rebound." When that hap pens, rock formations pulled too far in one direction snap back in the other. An elastic rebound is an earthquake. It is what hap pened to San Francisco on April 18-19, 1906, when 452 persons were killed and $350 million worth of property was destroyed. How to forecast just when a rebound will occur In any given area has not yet been figured out. But it can be de termined when one is build ing up. .

About a year ago I met a man of 31 who has not been married before. We were very much in love and wanted to marry at once, but my divorce was not yet final. We became involved in an illicit relation ship. I would not have gotten into anything like that if I wasn't certain that we were going to be married. Mark's parents know that he is interested in some one, but he has just-told me that he never mentioned that I am older than he is or that I am a divorcee with two children. He says that he just doesn't know how to break it to them. I want him to do it at once because I want to legalize our relationship and settle down as soon as pos sible. Mark F. I feel that since we have waited so long we should wait a little longer and make sure of ourselves. Besides, I want to break this thing to my parents gradual ly. I want them to get to know Terry first. I am sure they will like her when they know her but it will take a little time for them to get used to the idea of my being married to a divorcee with two children. I am. also a bit concerned about the difference in our ages. It isn't much I know, but my parents are always trying to match we up with girls in their early 20s. This will be quite a shock to them. I am as eager as Terry to settle down, but I want to do things the right way so that we'll have no serious prob lems after we are married. Terry should be less impa tient. The Council: We agree that Terry should be a lot less im patient. A very big factor in her thinking about a second mar riage must be her children's need for an at-home, day-today father. Mark, who fears to even acknowledge the exist ence of these children before the world, hardly seems to fit into that role satisfactorily. The age difference between k Terry and Mark is so small as to be of no real importance at all, but the fact that Mark finds it even worth thinking about means that it has spe cial significance for5 him. It is fairly obvious that he thinks of Terry as being far more mature than he is. Probably he was attracted to the very quality that leads him to balk at marriage -her motherliness. Unfortunately, Mark does not even have the maturity to - acknowledge his own doubts about the proposed marriage. He must place the blame for his stalling on an unreasonable fear of his par ents' opinion. His idea that he will iron out every last wrinkle before he marries and have "no serious problems" afterward is a rather childish daydream and very revealing of his general frame of mind. . Both Terry and Mark have a lot of serious thinking to do about their future. They should clear away the issues that disguise the real facts. Those issues are the age dif ference and Mark's parents.
