The Stock exchange firm of Francis I. Du Pont and Co. estimates leisure spending this year will reach $43 bil lion, up 2 billion dollars from 1939. It wouldn't be surprised if the total crossed the $50 bil lion mark by the end of the decade. Americans this year will enjoy 70 million weeks of va cation. Also they have the advantage of short work weeks and high pay to build their vast leisure expendi tures.

LIVER 'i MEAT KIDNEY ' MEAT CHICKEN MEATY MIX CnGFrc? r!SS The Du Pont firm mentions the trend toward more active participation in active sports and other pastimes. Hence a decline in such lines as mo vies, ball games, and prize fights. More time is being spent, however, on the theater, op eras, and concerts - $313 mil lion in 1959 against $188 mil lion in 1947. Much time is devoted to television viewing - also hi fi and stereo. The firm finds a shift in the national attitude toward borrowing for leisure pur suits. 'Credit Spending Patriotic' "Credit spending," it says. "has become not only moral but patriotic, and people have little reluctance to bor row to finance a back-yard swimming pool, a vacation, or a boat. "In fact, many banks which now are actively promoting their boat loan programs, find borrowers often more willing to keep up payments on their boats than on their cars." Here are the Du Pont firm's estimates on total lei sure time spending: total, $10.4 billion; do - it - yourself items and gardening, $12 billion; TV, radio, phonographs and records, $3.8 billion; reading material, $3. 3. billion; fishing, $2.6 billion; boating, $2.5 bil lion; , spectator amusements, $2.2 billion; swimming pools, bathing suits, aquatic games and equipment, $1.3 billion; pleasure dining, $1.1 billion; hunting, $1 billion; bowling, $1 billion; golf, $800 million and photography, $700 million.

One of these is a 14-inch feeder main which is being installed by city water de partment crews. It is being laid along Crater Lake ave., from McAndrews rd. to Rob erts rd. It is the first leg of a feeder main which will eventually extend to Delta Waters rd. The other main will be eight inches in diameter, and will also serve as a feeder main as well as providing service to the area along Mc Andrews rd. It is being in stalled by M. C. Lininger and Sons company and will be laid along McAndrews rd from Springbrook rd. to Waverly ave. Construction on the eight inch main will take about two weeks to complete. Eventual ly it will extend through the Blossom Hill Terrace sub division on Grand ave., and connect with the 14-inch main being installed by city crews. Added Capacity City Water Superintendent Robert Lee pointed out that the new mains will bring add ed water capacity to the Kenwood-Grandview area, which is presently being served by four and six-inch mains. The present small mains are adequate for serving homes in the area at present, Lee said, but as the area continues to develop and expand the addi tional capacity will be needed. The 14-inch main on Crater Lake ave. will serve the area adjacent to Crater Lake ave., in addition to Hs purpose as a feeder main. It will take about a month to complete. Lee said installation of the main along Crater Lake ave. will be done so that it won t block traffic. He said it will be installed off the paved por tion of the street and will not necessitate any deep ' cuts being made.

We were both students when we married and we planned to go on studying for a number of years. I was aim ing for a professional career and Sandra said she would work until I could establish myself. Anyway, our plans went haywire when the first baby was born and I left school to take a job, I've been doing pretty well with an aggressive company and I feel 1 have a future. I like the work pretty much too. But Sandra is terribly dis appointed that I don't have professional status. She wants me to borrow from my par ents and go back to school. just can t do that. e e Sandra E. - Jim's parents are heartbroken that he gave up his professional studies and I know it would mean a lot to them for him to resume this work. They hold me respon sible for spoiling his plans and I want them to know I'm willing to live on practically nothing just to have Jim back in school. It really wouldn't mean much to Jim's parents to help us. They are very well off and they would have helped us from the start if Jim hadn't gotten so nasty with them about our marriage. They wanted us to wait, but we eloped and Jim got into a fight with them over the way they treated me. But I think they're now ready to forgive and forget. Jim is just full of false pride. e ' e The Council: It sounds to us as though Sandra has been doing a bit too much mulling and has come up with a plan that concretizies a daydream of hers, but not of her hus band's. Jim seems to be well ad justed to his work. He enjoys it and feels he has a future. He doesn't seem to regret hav- I ing forsaken a professional career for family life. Jim studies again. Of course, there are ad vantages to i professional career, but there are sacrifices as well, and the man who doesn't want a particular career very keenly would be foolish to make the sacrifices merely because others want it for him. We see no great harm in parents giving a boost to a married son or daughter who has a vital ambition, but we see a lot wrong with a child accepting support to do some thing merely to satisfy the am bition of parents or spouse. Although Jim and Sandra have made a fairly good ad justment to their situation they are suffering from one of the discomtorts and disloca tions of premature marriage. Educators are becoming in creasingly concerned about the fact that much of the na tion's valuable brain-power is being swalowed up in the mill of early marriage. Full intel lectual development calls for a good deal of discipline and denial and those who wish to attain it should prepare to make some sacrifices. (Copyright 1960, General Features Corp.)
