L.J. - My daughter wants me to give up the widows' club. . Lillian T. - She. can do better things. Mm. L.J. - I am 65 and lost mv husband two years ago Munle and I felt I wouldn't be able to go on without him Six months ago I met aft other widow who invited me to join a club of widows in our community and since then I have been much happier, we spend three or four evenings - week together, playing cards, going to the movies or just going to dinner and an vsnirnr shoDDinff trip. It is certainly nice- to have com- ruinionshin aeainin the eve nings. ' My daughter thinks I m making a mistake hanging around with those women. She thinks I ought to. marry again, I certainly don't Know how to go looking for a nus band at my age. -Lillian T. - My mother looks a good ten years young er than, her age and she has mom enerev than I have. She worked for ten i years before marriaee and is an ao eomoUshed '. secretary. The women she has been going around with are dull and can't do anything better with them selves, than gossip and play I feel that my mother could h much happier, if she were more active, ane nas wcu well provided for, but if she went back to work sne couia set into the swing of .things and meet more people. My friend's mother married again at ' age 68 last year. I don't see why it can!i happen to my Mother seems to feel , that she has one foot in the grave That's far from true. '. The Council: We agree with Lillian that a healthy, ener getic woman of 65 shouldn't think of herself as close to h crave, although it is natural for her to have such a tendency if she has recently lost her husband. The widows' club isn't a bad idea, but we think that all of the women in this group are making a mistake by taking up too much of one another's time and building up an in terdependence within such a small, special group. These women will very soon become sick of one another's company and the group will break "up because of boredom and petty strife. Then the women won't want to see any more of one Reduced Visibility Is Driving Hazard 'Reduced visability is one of the hazards of cold weather driving, Chief of Police Charles P. Champlin remind ed area drivers today. He said a number of driv ers have been seen operating with their car windows cov ered with frost, all except a small spot on the windshield. In ' today's traffic a driver needs 100 per cent visibility, or as close to it as a person can get, and it only takes a little work to get the frost off windows, he explained. A peep-hole in the wind shield is almost worse than useless, Champlin said, be cause it leads some drivers to think they can see what is going on when really they cannot. " j another.-' If they, 'restricted themselves . to 'j weekly or twice - monthly "get-togethers, they would enjoy themselves more on those special oc casions and move 'around in a larger social area at other times. . Mrs. L.J. is fortunate in hav ing a daughter who encour ages her to make the most of her assets. Her energy, youth ful appearance and ability are riches that shouldn't be washed down the drain. How ever, Lillian can't set goals for her mother and expect her mother to carry them out. It is up to Mrs. L.J. to decide what she wants to do in order to participate in life more fully. , Mrs. L.J. may find that club or volunteer work is more suitable than a regular job at this stage of her life. She may find this work plus the com panionship of family and friends sufficiently fulfilling. We wouldn't discourage the search for a second husband if this is what she really wants, but she should make her own decision. We agree that Mrs. L.J. has limited her life too much. She should seek new, objectives and new horizons. , (Copyright 195SV - ' General Features Corp.) Husband Allowed to Read Wife's Mail Rome - (tPD - The Italian supreme coure has ruled it is all right for a husband to read his wife's mail. ' Provided, however, he sus pects she might be up to some thing. The cour ruled in a legal separation suit brought by Ar turo Tarehiore of Rome against 'his wife. He said he suspected her of infidelity, and found - the evidence in some letters she had hidden in her, wardrobe. Mrs. Tarehiore claimed in a counter-suit that the evidence was obtained by unconstitu tional means. The Italian con stitution states: "The liberty and secrecy of correspondence and of all forms of communi cations of the Italian citizen are inviolable." In its decision the supreme court held that Tarehiore was on legitimate ground when he peeked at the letters. "The husband has the right of vigilance of his wife's cor respondence in her relations with other persons," the court ruled. "If for reasons of sus picion the husband comes in possession of any kind of doc ument compromising his wife and which may be detrimen tal to him and his family, such documents can be viewed for Steel Scramble to Continue in First Half of New Year ' Cleveland - (UPD - The scramble for steel will con tinue through the first half of 1960 even if there is no resumption of the industry strike. Steel Magazine, the metal- working weekly, based the prediction on the fact that in ventories are low and unbal anced, and although some buy ers have undoubtedly placed duplicate orders, they will take all the tonnage they can get in the immediate future. Auto industry pressure for shipments is expected to force the mills to continue quoting extended deliveries, particu larly on flat rolled products. As long as deliveries remain extended, consumers will con tinue to make vague commit ments for future tonnage.. They won't risk drastic cur tailment of their orders. Can't Take More Cold rolled and galvanized sheets still head the list of critically needed products. Leading producers say they can't take any additional ton nage for the first half of the year.. Shipments are being al located on past buying pat terns. " Steelmakers last week made a minimum observance of the Christmas holiday. The ope rating rate was 93.5 per cent of capacity, 2.8 points below the previous week's revised rate. Production was about 2,647,000 ingot tons. The trade weekly said scrap is marking time. The maga zine's price composite on March of Dimes Assistants Named Several . appointments ; for the January March of Dimes campaign have been an nounced by Frank Morris and Bert Rostell, cochairmen of the local fund-raising drive. Evelyn McGee will serve as secretary. of the campaign with Art Tropple in charge of organization, Morris said.

A year ago, it was $39.67. Price Cutting Expected Severe price cutting on broker stockpiled foreign steel is expected when the in dustry labor dispute is set tled. Brokers are thought to be holding around 50,000 tons at Houston. On the average in the southwest, imported steel ordered directly frdm the mills costs $12 to $15 a ton less than domestic tonnage. Imported steel unloaded in Chicago during October amounted to 28,290 tons, up 52 per cent from September. The magazine said non-ferrous metalmen see a 1960 up swing. They expect bigger sales, higher production, greater price stability and lit tle labor trouble. Titanium, lead, magnesium and nickel will show improvement. Auto Importers Accused Of Price Fixing Washington - (DPI - The gov ernment has accused Ameri can importers of French-made Renault and Peugeot automo biles of fixing prices and otherwise restricting sales of the cars in this country.; The Justice Department fil ed, a civil anti-trust suit against Renault Inc., and Peu geot, Inc., both American sub sidiaries of French parent companies headquartered in New York. The suit, filed in U.S. Court for the Southern District of New York, also named 16 dis tributors. -Territories Allocated The complain charged that the two companies and their distributors . fixed wholesale and retail prices of Renault and Peugeot automobiles and parts and allocated exclusive territories to their 700 dealers. In 1958 the Justice Depart ment said, retail sales of new Renault and Peugeot cars in the United States totalled about $85 million. Total U.S. sales of all new foreign cars that year totalled approxi mately $700 million. Robert A. Bicks, the de partment's anti - trust chief, said the suit was aimed at fostering competition in the U.S., .automobile market. He said it "should permit Renault and Peugeot to compete more advantageously for consumer' preference in the market." for a hearty breakfast IV OREGON FARM FRESH EGGS Guaranteed fresh! i 13 Ounce Can .
