Mm. 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

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. ,

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

the tutelage of decorum."
heavy melting scrap was un
changed last week at $41.33
a gross ton. 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."
