Teen-Age Drivers
Augusta, Me. (DPD A dras
tic change in the driver's li
cense requirements for boys
and girls in the State of Maine
will go into effect Sept. 1,
1960, in an attempt to cut
down on the rising number of
motor vehicle accidenti in
volving teen-agers.
The state legislature recent
ly passed an act raising the
minimum driving age from 15
to 17, unless the applicant has
successfully completed an ap
proved driver education
course.
Under current law, any
youngster may obtain a li
cense at the age of 15, provid
ed he or she has passed a
written examination and a
road test.
The new act provides that
any one under the age of 17
must complete either the
standard high school driver
education course or a commer
cial driver training school
course approved by the State
Department of Education.

Mrs. D.E. She wants him
to give up a good job.
Gerald E. It would be a
small sacrifice to make.
Mrs. D.E. - My son Gerald.
aged 26, has been in love
with the same girl for two
years. She has dangled him
on her string all of that time,
evidently holding him oil to
see if . anything better turns
up for her.
Recently Gerald landed a
very mteresting job in a
small city very far from our
home. He asked Adele to
accomnany him down there.
Her answer was that she had
lived in a large city all her
life and couldn't stand living
in a , "one-horse town." She
said she'll marry him if he
stays here.
Gerald now wants to give
un this sood iob. I feel it
would be a serious mistake.
This job promises to be a
steppingstone to a better fu
ture and he has worked hard
for just such a spot. A girl
who isn't willing to make a
small sacrifice for her hus
band isn't worth much.
Gerald E. - Right now it
seems to me a smaller sacri
fice to give up the job I want
to get the girl I want. I can
alwavs find another job, but
it isn't so easy to find the
person with whom you feel
like spending the rest of your
life.
Anyway, I can understand
Adele's point of view. I al
most went bats when I spent
months in the Army near a
small city. When you are
used to the life and tempo of
a metroDolis. it isn t easy to
get used to a small place out
in the middle of nowhere.
Adele has a good job here
in the city. She couldn't get
anything like it in the place
we'd be going. We'd have to
sDend a couple of years
there. She isn't the type of
girl who could be happy stuck
at home all day. Why should
she make the sacrifice when
I am willing to make it?
The Council: Gerald's will
ingness to sacrifice and to
adapt himself to another per
son's needs speaks well for
his readiness to marry. How
ever, Adele's unwillingness
to do just that speaks the op
posite for her.
A marriage based on an
"if" may just as well be lad
en down with a stone that
will sink it the minute it gets
off to sea. Adele could just as
well have said, "I will marry
you if you assure me that
everything will go exactly
right the way I like it
forever afterwards." Her an
swer is that of a little girl
accustomed ' to demanding
bribes for what others want
her to do not that of a
woman reaching out for the
new life she desires.
In our opinion Gerald can't
win with such . a girl. She
seems to be just the type who,
in. a few years, will blame
him for not having gotten as
far ahead in his profession
as she would like. At that
time her song will be slightly
different something like,
"I wouldn't have married you
if I had known things would
be like this."
Gerald would be wise to
try to free himself from the
strangle hold of such an at
tachment. H should take the
job, try his wings, meet other
girls. He may soon find that
he has made no sacrifice at
all, but rid himself of a mill
stone. (Copyright 1959,

MAITRE D'HOTEL DIES
Paris - (DPD - Albert Blazer,
76, widely - known maitre
d'hotel of the swank Paris
restaurant, "Chez Maxim's,"
died Thursday after a long
illness.
Washington (DPD The
Senate has approved 89-0 a
$1,428,178,700 money bill
carrying funds to finance con
struction activities of the
armed services at home and
overseas.
The measure calls for
spending about 9 per cent less
than President Eisenhower
budgeted. It was, however,
somewhat larger than the bill
approved by the House.
The bill stirred a minimum
of debate in the Senate.
Another Milestone
The Senate action was an
other milestone along the
road to congressional ad
journment since the construc
tion bill is, by custom, one of
the last money bills to be ap
proved before adjournment
each year. -
The measure was $135,021,
300 under administration re
quests for defense building in
the fiscal year which started
last July 1.
The bill was sent to the
Senate floor Thursday by the
Senate Appropriations Com
mittee. . The committee re
stored $143,176,000 of the
$278,187,300 which the House
had chopped from the admini
stration's proposal.
Approval by the commit
tee was an aditional $12,219,
000 for National Guard proj
ects beyond the $11,000,000
total proposed by Eisenhower
and approved by the House.
Hospital Fund Restored
Among the funds restored
was $26,173,400 for construc
tion of military hospitals at
10 Army, Navy and Air Force
installations. This compared
with the administration's re
quest for $33,308,000 and the
House's denial of funds on
grounds the costs exceeded
those for civilian institutions.
In approving the increases,
the Senate committee steered
away from criticism of the
sort expressed by the House
Appropriations Commi ttee.
The House group chopped the
administration's request 18
per cent and accused the De
fense Department of "piece
meal and short-range plan
ning." ... v-
