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

get him on the telephone or
leave the room when he calls
on me. 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.

Steel Workers
Need Long Time
To Balance Losses
Washington - (UPD - On the'
basis of increased pay alone,
it will require the average
steel worker about IVi years
to make up the $2,000 he lost
in wages during the 116-day
steel strike.
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.

Of Relief

UPI Financial Editor

steady supply
of steel is as
sured, a great

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.

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."
