three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers,

on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and
counselors.
Marjoria S. - I want our
own home. -
Jack S. - Things will be
much harder for all of us.
Marjoria S. - My husband
and I have been married four
years and we are expecting a
second child in a few months.
Our problem revolves around
my mother-in-law with whom
we are living. -
Jack's mother is a widow
who owns her own home. She
was nice enough to invite us
to live with her rent-free un
til we got on our feet finan
cially. At the time we were
married, Jack expected a pro
motion which didn't come
through. He is still making
the same salary he was four
years ago.
I feel that if we didn't live
here, Jack would get out and
hustle for another job or a
promotion. His mother is very
nice but living with her isn't
easy. She has her own way of
doing things, and I don't feel
free to change anything. I
want to move now before
our baby is born.
Jack S. Margie sure has
chosen the right time to in
sist upon moving. With the
new baby on the way, the
bills are already piling up. If
we move we must buy furni
ture as well. Rents in our
area are very high. We would
have to take a tiny place. At
my mother's we have the run
of the house and a backyard
as well. -
Aside from this, even Mar
gie admits my mother is a
swell person and very helpful
to her. She is willing to baby
sit every night if we want it.
She does most of the cooking,
but is always willing to let
Margie take over.
It seems a shame to leave
my mother alone in the big
house for no reason at all and
to make things harder for our
selves and our children when
she is so willing to help us. I
just want Margie to be reason
able about this thing.
The Council Jack offers
many apparently good reasons
for going on doing as he wish
es but he has a blind spot
where his wife's wishes are
concerned.
Marjorie is well aware of
the various advantages offered
in her mother-hvlaw's home
and she is honest enough to
make no trumped-up excuses
for wanting to leave. She ad
mits her mother-in-law is
"nice," but maintains that she
wants to feel more free. She
also feels that the free-rent
deal has broken down her hus
band's incentive to better him
self. .. J
These appear to us to be
two pretty good reasons and
Jack has failed to offer one
reply to them. He apparently
discounts them as of no im
portance, yet these factors are

Peanuts' C reave: Es
Quiet-Spoken Artist
vital to the emotional health
of this family.
Every woman wants to set
up a nest of her own, free
from the domination of an
older woman. No matter how
humble this home is, a young
woman will take more pride
in it and have far more joy
in it than she would in an
other woman's palace. She
should not be deprived of this
satisfaction unless forced by
circumstances beyond control.
A man takes or should take
a similar satisfaction in being
the sole support of his family.
Easy money is a temptation to
everyone, but real' bargains
are very rare in life. Most of
us pay through the nose when
we attempt to get something
for nothing. Jack may have
given up many possibilities
for advancement simply be
cause, his comfortable situa
tion left him cozy and sluggish
rather than alert.
When young couples must
live with in-laws it is far bet
ter for the young pair to have
the larger responsibility in
the home. The older person
should try to adjust to a less
prominent role in the house
hold. (Copyright 1959, General
Features Corp.)
Back in 1950, a tall, quiet-
spoken artist submitted a
comic strip to United Feature
Syndicate, Inc., New York,
for consideration. Almost im
mediately, the editors decid
ed the strip would be a good
one.
Thus was born the comic
strip "Peanuts" by Charles
M. Schulz. During the nine
years the strip has been syn
dicated, it has generated a
constant flow of surprising
ly devoted fan mail, and has
become popular throughout
the country.
Schulz was born in Minnea
polis and after graduating
from high school took a cor
respopdence course in art.
He was about to embark on
his cartoonist career when
World War II interfered.
Drawi Panel Cartoons
After the war, he started
drawing panel cartoons for
magazines, and sold several
to the Saturday Evening Post
and other periodicals. For a
while, he was an instructor
in an art school.
In 1949, he sent several
panel cartoons to United Fea
ture Syndicate in New York,
The syndicate said it would
be more interested if the car
toons were developed in com
ic-strip form rather than sin
gle panel cartoons.
Schulz drew up a few daily
strips, and arrived in New
York on a rainy morning.
Tucking the drawings under
his coat to keep them dry, he
immediately went to the of
fice, where he left the draw
ings with a receptionist since
the editors had not yet arrived.
He went out for breakfast,
and by the time he returned,
the editors had seen the draw
ings and decided it would
make a good comic strip.
The strip, which is distri
buted to newspapers through
out the world, has won phen
omenal popularity among
readers of all ages and has
earned for Schulz the 1956
"Cartoonist of the Year"
award of the National Car
toonist society, the 1958 "Hu
morist of the Year" award of
the Yale Record and many
others.
Inimitable Characteri
The inimitable little char
acters of the strip .include
good ol Charlie Brown, Lucy,
Patty, Violet, Schroeder and
others. The Schulz are par
ents of five children, but
Schulz said he only occasion
ally uses an actual incident
or apt remark from their
children as the basis for a
strip.
Schulz, who now lives in
Sebastopol, Calif., starts work
about 6:30 a.m. - daily and
works about an- eight-hour
day., Sometimes, he said, he
can turn out two or three
strips in that time, when ideas
come fast, and sometimes he
discards everything because
it does not meet his standards.
The comic-strip "Peanuts"
will start daily in Mail Trib
une tomorrow.
