My problem is my in-laws who have been practically liv ing with us since we were married ten years ago. My wife was an only child so I took it for granted that her parents would be excep tionally attached to her. I figured in time they would get used to the idea of her being married. Instead they moved nearer to our home and are with us most of the day and every evening. They spend all day talking to my wife, but when I get home I still can't get a word in edgeways. The worst of it is that they are nearly always quarreling. Things have gotten so bad I'm ready to go if they don't. Gloria B. Just what am I supposed to do, anyway? Kick my parents out of the house?

Tell them my husband can't stand to look at them anymore? - Newton doesn't realize that this thing is harder for me than it is for him. My parents keep coming around to "help" me with the kids, but half the time they make things worse for me. I have to serve them lunch and see to it that the kids don't get too noisy be cause it upsets them. Newton wants me to act like a monster to my parents, but I can't do that. They are old and ill and I am all they have in the world. All the pleasure in life they have comes out of seeing me and the children. The Council: Gloria points out that her parents believe they are coming to help her, but that in fact they are a hindrance. Has she considered the possibility that she may believe she is helping them while actually doing the op posite? Psychiatrists find that many adult children who strongly insist upon their parents' need of them turn out to be over dependent upon their parents. They may marry and have their own families, but emo tionally still feel that they are their parents' little children and the parents are over whelmingly powerful forces. They may seem exceptionally devoted to their parents, but such men and women usually harbor deep feelings of re sentment against one or botn parents. Gloria's resentment flares in spite of her good intentions toward her parents and she should be aware that her par ents have an emotional un derstanding of all that is go ing on. They see her as their baby because she feels she Is that and they also more or less consciously know that she is annoyed with their Con stant presence. These parents are fortun ate in that they are inde pendent and they still have one another. There is much in life two elderly persons can explore together if they are not hamstrung by the idea that their permanent place is at the side of their daughter. The elderly couple can make friends, find hobbies, do a little sightseeing in their area, go to entertainments or enjoy their home together. They should have a more varied life and Gloria is keeping them from it as long as she refuses to let them know that she wants more time alone with her family. The elderly couple are un- j doubtedly aware that they j are robbing Gloria of the en-. joyment of the privacy of her I home. When the issue is brought out into the open they may seem hurt at first, but they will adjust to the idea and recognize that it is for the best for everyone con cerned. (Copyright 1960.

Heat waves shimmered si lently upward in zig-zag un dulations and disappeared into the upper air. I wondered if any creature could remain long in such a place.

AFL-CIO MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. 311 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins needle-tipped leaves was a pile of sand and behind the pile, the dark entrance to an underground burrow. Look ing into the opening I could see a -passageway running horizontally back and down from the opening. It was the home of the little burrowing owl. I retreated a few feet back from the opening and prepared to wait. Movement Detected Much sooner than I had dared hope, I detected a move ment at the burrow opening. A tiny, brown form assumed shape and substance. , I thought the small owl looked a little surprised at the sight of me waiting there in the sun. He bowed courteously in my direction a couple of times, bending sharply for ward from the ground with short, abrupt nods of his whole body. I wanted to laugh. He certainly didn't bow from the waist; he bowed from his feet. Then he blinked his large, yellow eyes and flew up to a leaf of the yucca plant. He settled himself comfortably, bowed again, and watched me with half-closed eyes. He was barely six inches tall and slightly smaller around than my wrist. He sat there in the hot sun, cool and nonchalant in his thick, insulated coat of brown feathers -a male bur rowing owl. Courtesy Inbred I glanced again at the sand mound, and there, looking at me was the little female and three half-grown baby owls. Courtesy had apparently been inbred even in these little ones, for they all bowed in unison with their mother at my perspiring presence. I raised my hand. The entire family, became immediately alert, ready to dive back into the burrow at the first hos tile move. I knew that at the far end of the burrow was a hol-lowed-out room where the young had been born. Back there in the darkness was sanctuary when danger threatens. But when all is quiet they like to sit on the mound of sand at the burrow entrance. In the evenings there they will be, like a little old couple with their chil dren, sitting on the front porch at the end of the day.
