Jim CShe's jealous of oth
er People's children.
Nancy CI am not. I just
want peace.
Jim Ci-My wife and I have
en married eight years and
have no children, although
we would like to have a
family.
Unfortunately, my wife has
been pregnant several times
but lost the babies. We have
seen many doctors and there
seems little likelihood of our
becoming parents.
I come from a large family
and am just crazy about kids.
I can spend hours fooling
around with nieces and neph
ews and the children of
friends. My wife, Nancy, is
gainst our spending a lot of
time with these people who
have children. I feel she is
jealous and she shouldn't be
that way. If we can't have
children, why not enjoy other
people's?

I wanted to adopt a child,
but Jim was aeainst it Hp

Of our Own we shnulri fnrtrpt
it. Well. I'm willing to fnrect
it, but what's the big deal for
tis about hanging around with
our inends' children?
I think it's rotten of Jim
to say I'm jealous. I wish the
Desi in tne world to our
friends and relatives and their
families, but I can only take
so much of other people's
kids.
If I had my own I'd have

on the surface, yet in view
of his refusal to adopt a child,
it's a little peculiar. If he can
get so much pleasure from his
contacts with the children of
others, why does he reject the
possibility of bringing up an
other's child as his own?
This oddity in Jim's atti
tude, plus his crude accusa
tion of jealousy, indicates that
some hidden forces are at
work. It seems to us that
Jim's underlying motivation
is to hurt his wife. He cer
tainly doesn't seem to try to
make her feel better about
the fact that she has been
unable to bear the desired
children.
We do not know the causes
behind Jim's desire to wound.
Possibly he feels he has been
cruelly treated by fate since
he can't have a child of his
own, or he may have a more
deep-seated anger against life
and women in general.
In any case, Nancy has had
some pretty hard blows in
losing unborn children sev
eral times and is in need of
all the sympathy, affection
and reassurance a husband
can offer. Instead she gets
just the opposite-a form of
censure for having failed to
please him.
Jim should try to recognize
that he has deprived Nancy
of a child every bit as much
as she may have deprived
him. His case is less excusa
ble because he refused a child
Nancy did not refuse to bear
one.
Jim shows he is more emo
tionally maladjusted to the
situation than his wife is. It
is he who must make the
greater effort to change. Since
he - doesn't want a child
enough to try to adopt one,
he should accept the fact that
he and his wife will probably
have a childless marriage.
Contacts with . the children
of friends and relatives may
be pleasant, but they are nec
essarily limited in time and
emotional scope. If Jim wants
some of the emotional satis
faction of contributing to a
child's welfare and develop
ment, he should look into the
possibility of doing volunteer
work for a church or civic
group that has a program for
this purpose. Nancy may also
find an outlet in such work if
she can feel it is unconnected
with any rebuke on her hus
band's part.

Yes, He Did See
A Fish in the Tree
Looking up through the
branches of the pine tree I
could see a dark object with
a familiar shape, apparently
caught in a large tree branch.
It looked out of place, for it
appeared to be a fish.
A careful scrutiny through
the binoculars showed it to
be a large catfish-its gills
opening and closing, its body
shiny and wet looking. It ap
peared to weigh at least four
pounds, apparently balanced
cross-ways on the tree limb.
The needles of the tree ef
fectively closed the view
above the branch. The fish's
body, what I could see of it,
was sharply etched against the
sky in the narrow opening be
tween the branches. Nothing
seemed to be holding it in
place. As I watched, the fish
struggled-then it rose up into
the air above the tree and disappeared.
I dashed around the base of
the tree just in time to see the
catfish, held securely in the
talons of an osprey, sailing
away toward the sparkling
waters of the bay. The fish's
head pointed squarely in the
direction of the bird's flight
Looking up into the tree I
could see why only the fish
was visible from my former
position; a screen of needles
shielded the body of the bird
from my sight.
Some time later I located
the osprey's nest, a platform
of sticks interlaced in. the
branches of a dead tree a half
mile from the edge of the bay.
Here on the nest both ospreys
sat, glaring at a hostile world
with their wild, yellow eyes.
These were the "fishing
eagles" of the Indians. Many
people still mistake the os
prey for an eagle, for it is
nearly as large, with a wing-
spread of five feet. Unlike the
loud scream of the American
eagle, however, the osprey
emits a soft, mellow whistle
which seems almost gentle for
such a fierce-looking bird.
As I watched the ospreys
there tearing away at the cat
fish, I remembered some of
the startling facts that science
had learned about these re
markable birds. The osprey's
eyes have remarkable proper
ties. The eyes are like high
powered field-glasses.
Spot Fish
From great heights these
birds can easily see into the
water below them and spot
fish swimming below the
water's surface. The osprey
plummets from the sky in a
power-dive, seldom missing
the intended fish. Peculiarly
enough, these birds have a
preference in the fish they
seek, selecting catfish if at all
possible.
Unlike most fishing birds,
the osprey does not sieze the
fish in the beak, but with the
powerful talons of the feet.
After catching the prey the
osprey rises from the water
with powerful wing thrusts,
at the same time lining the
fish until the head is directed
in the direction the bird is
flying.
The osprey lives entirely on
fish; so to be near the food
supply they always built the
nest very near the sea. In the
nests are laid the most beauti
ful of eggs. Each egg is
splotched with red and var
ious shades of brown in pat
terns and unusual arrange-'
ments. "Even the young os-

If past his
tory holds, the
stock market
has a better
chance of ris
ing than of
falling during
March. In the
past 63 years.
Elmer Walzer industrial
shares have risen, in 38 and
declined in 25, while the rail
score has been 36 gains and
27 declines.
Spring is the time the auto
salesmen hope their predic
tions of big sales totals will
come true. If they are right,
steel operations should hold
high in several vital centers.
Railroads should have more
business, and building should
have come out of its slump.
The month of March for the
stock market has improved
its gaining record in each of
the past three decades. In the
tantalizing thirties industrial
shares showed seven March
declines and only three gains.
Progress in March
In the firming forties this
group managed to show only
four March declines and six
gains. In the fabulous fifties,
there were only three March
declines and seven advances.
The decade of the thirties
saw a market falling to new
lows in 1932 and then rally
ing moderately. The 1940s
saw industrials get to 200 or
a little better. It took the
1950s to see the average cross
300, 400, 500, and 600.
What will the soaring sixties
see? Some prognosticators are
putting the average up to 800
or better after further misery
for some stockholders before
there is an influx of eager
buyers.
The biggest market gain in
March in the past three dec
ades was made in 1956 when
the Dow-Jones average rose
28.14 points. The biggest de
cline was in March 1938
when the average declined
30.69 points. In March of 1959
the market enjoyed a good
rise in the first half and then
declined with the average los
ing 1.79 points on the month.
Optimistic Forecasters
The market so far this year
has suffered from exuberance
of prognostication.
As the predictors saw the
future late in 1959 the golden
era of the 1960s was to pro
duce a ripsnorting boom in
just about everything.
The boom didn't rip-snort
and the predictors were toned
down. Meantime selling
brought stocks down in a de
cline that carried through the
first half of February.
The decline in turn brought
caution into business and the
whole economy steadied. De
spite this braking of the
boom, industry operated
around its best levels in his
tory in most lines even though
the totals weren't up to earlier
anticipations.
Helped Prevent Excesses
According to many Wall
Street observers, this devel
opment was all to the good. It
helped prevent excesses in
business and in markets. And,
they add, it brought stocks
down to a more normal level
with earnings and earnings
prospects - made stocks more
respectable pricewise.
The unsolved problem as
the market goes into its third
month of I960 is whether

prices of stocks have adjust
ed sufficiently to bring in the
big buyers.
Some of the market men
hold that the list could mud
dle around current levels be
fore meeting volume support.
A few others expect further
declines before the big buy
ing point is reached.

preys in the nest possess many
curious and interesting traits.
The osprey would prefer to
nest in colonies with others
of its kind. They seem to
enjoy each other's company
during the long days of incu
bation, but experience has
taught them the folly of this
habit. A colony of nesting
birds would be too conspicu
ous. The birds would be destroy
ed by malicious gunners. So
these untamed birds of prey
now nest singularly in a dead
tree, as far away from a hu
man habitation as possible.
Civilization is crowding in on
the ospreys; not too many
years remain.
