Margo B.-I shouldn't go on with this friendship. Celia N.-She must consider herself first. Margo B.-I am a widow in my late 40s and the mother of two teen-age children-Bill, 16, and Carole, 13. I have dated very little since my hsuband died four years ago. My first thought was for the children. I wanted to meet somebody with a fam ily of his own who would love the children and whom they could love in return. Recently, however, I met a most attractive bachelor who is seriously interested in me. He says frankly that he has never cared much for chil dren and he seems ill at ease when he is with them. They don't care for him either and always make a face when they Busy Cooks' Delight SIZES S-10-12 L 13 20 Coverall busy cooks prefer no straps to slip off, no un tidy ties!

I feel I shouldn't go on with this friendship, but my sister thinks I'm wrong. Celia N.-I think it's always a mistake to be too self-sacrificing for children. They never appreciate it. I could tell of countless cases where mothers made enormous sacri fices, only to be neglected in their old age. Margo doesn't realize that in about five or six years her children will be ready to take off and live their own lives. They won't give her a thought. She has to consider her future. She will have many years of loneliness be fore her if she doesn't act now when she has a good oppor tunity. I am not urging Margo to marry the particular bachelor in question. I don't know him well enough, but I think she shouldn't be guided by her children's opinion in choosing a second husband. She should just consider herself. The Council: We agree with Celia that Margo's feelings must come first in her choice of a husband. Her children should not stand between her and a good marriage. Yet to a certain extent her choice must be influenced by her children. If she married a man who could not tolerate the children or accommodate himself satisfactorily to them, her marriage could not be happy. It is true that in a few years these youngsters will be off on their own. But the next few years will be important ones in their lives. The prob lems of adolescence will be greatly intensified if there is an unhappy and unwholesome atmosphere in the home. Mar go must certainly consider her responsibilities in this direc tion. On the other hand, it is nat ural for children to view with a certain amount of alarm the possibility of a stranger enter ing their family life. It is likely that these youngsters, suspecting their mother is getting serious about her bachelor friend, have devel oped a negative attitude to ward him as a defense. Margo certainly should not turn this man away purely on the basis of her children's reaction. She should try to get to know him better. A test of whether he will ever be able to fit himself into the family setup would be to see if he can become interested in these children sufficiently to break down a little of their resistance. A mature man should be able to overcome his uneasiness with adolescent children. If he can't his per sonality may be the sort that will present many other diffi culties. We urge Margo to proceed - but very cautiously. (Copyright 1959, General Features Corp.) POPULATION ESTIMATE Portugal's population is es timated at 7,800,000.

These figures are based on a 40-hour work week, 52 week year, and increases of seven cents an hour effective Dec. 1 and Oct. 1, 1961. However, this does not take into consideration fringe ben efits, skill differentials, etc. Difficult lo Figure It is difficult to figure exact ly how long it will take him to make up the loss, if all factors are considered. A union official claimed the average steel worker will more than make up the loss during the life of the new 2V2 year contract counting all these factors. Each worker js due to re ceive three months pay on retirement after 15 years service under the new con tract. This alone should place an average of $1,625 "in the bank," according to union es timates. Insurance Benefits Company payments of in surance benefits will save the average worker about nine cents an hour or slightly less than $200 a year, the union official said. Wage increases of nearly 10 cents an hour starting next December and other benefits should more than make up the rest of the difference between $1,625 and $2,000, he said.

WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York (UPD Industry and the stock market breath ed a sigh of relief on the set-i-5" tlement of the steel wage dis pute. Now that a steady supply of steel is as sured, a great many indus tries can do more definite planning. Elmer Waber can expect a Rail roads boost in their business with steel inventory building a big factor. The automobile1 industry looks for a sharp rise in out put in the first quarter of I960.' Industry experts said there would be 2,200,000 cars turned out in the first three months. That would be a record, beating the previous first quarter top of 2,129,000 cars turned out in 1955, the auto industry's best year. Automobile economists hold that the steel strike brought caution among prospective consumers which they see eliminated now that a recur rence of the walkout is out of the picture. Railroads look for enough of a boom to permit them to spend more than a billion dol lars on improvements in 1960. The railroads in 1959 spent $825 million on new equip ment and road improvements. Some predict this will be boosted to around the $1.4 billion record figure spent in 1957. The roads look for a rise of 8 to 10 per cent in traffic. Railroad Walkout There is talk now that the steel strike is out of the way that methods will be found to prevent a walkout of railroad men in the spring. The oil industry welcomed the end of the strike. P. B Tracy, president of Ess Standard, division of Humble Oil & Refining Co., said the "settlement of any strike is a good thing, but this one is particularly welcome. "To varying degrees the steel strike has affected us all. The settlement is a good way to start the new year." Dr. Marcus Nadler, New York University professor and economist for the Hanover Bank held that the most im portant thing to watch is whether the steel companies raise prices piecemeal or across the board. "If there is a general in crease in prices of 5 per cent such as occurred after the previous industry wage con tract it will be inflationary." Nadler held that a high level of business activity is practically assured for the first six months of 1960.

Tabell, analyst for Walston & Co., holds the market probably wiil rise to the 700-level in the Dow Jones industrial average this month. "The settlement of the steel strike removes a near term uncertainty - but doesn't change the longer term out look," says Sidney Lurie, an alyst for Josephthal & Co. Sliil a Phase "It is neither an excuse for general optimism, nor reason to change the basic approach which had been previously dictated by the fundamentals. "This is still a phase where it is well to look for the in dustries and companies which can provide a speculative sur prise. "This is also an area where the choice of the individual issue is much more important than generalizations about the market as a whole. "The most promising indus tries today are the same as those which had heretofore been in the limelight, such as the auto, building, chemical, metal, retail trade, and textile." Do you realize LIBERAL INCOME RETURNS are available from TAX-FREE BONDS? Most bonds issued by cities, counties or states are exempt from Federal income tax. Territorial bonds of Alaska and Hawaii (before statehood) and of Pureto Rico are usually exempt from both state and Federal taxation. In many cases, actual income from good municipal bonds is higher than income from quality common stocks. Currently, many bonds are selling to yield 4 9o and over to maturity.
