0 SUNDAY. JUNE 26, MIWUKU MML TIUBTJNE. MEDFORD, ORE. The Family Council Editor' Notei The Family Council comlsti of Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor a women'e editor and two writers. Eacn article Is a summary of an actual -jue history. The Council reports on problems that have been deals win by responsible agencies and counselors. Marilyn K. - I feel like calling the whole thing off. Mn. L.K. - She shouldn't look for perfection. e Marilyn K. - I am 19 and engaged to a young man I have dated for about a year. Ed and I met at a resort last summer. He was the ten nis instructor and I was a guest for a week. He lives quite far from my community but we corresponded and man aged to date about twice a month. . After our engagement was announced I spent a week end at his home and met all Jiis friends. I was surprised to see how different he was with them and his family than he is with me. He constantly teases his younger brother and sister and he embarrassed one of his friends to death -making the whole crowd laugh at this fellow. When I told him I didn't think it was very nice, Ed flew up at me. 1 am very upset and feel like calling the whole thing off, but my mother says I'm being Billy. Mrs. L.K.-Marilyn is much too sensitive. She s making a mountain out of a molehill This is nothing but a lovers' quarrel. My husband and I had half a dozen of them be fore we were married. Some times I think we did it just to make up. That was always so nice. : Unfortunately, Marilyn and Ed live so far apart they can't have the pleasure of a nice reconciliation. This long distance engagement is hard on both of them. ; My husband and I pride ourselves on being good judges of character and we think Ed is a wonderful young man. He has a very promising future in business and seems head-over-heels in love with Marilyn. What young girl could ask for more? I have tried to explain to Marilyn that she mustn't look for per fection. After all, she isn't perfect herself. : The Council: Although Mrs. L.K. is right to warn her daughter against demanding perfection, she glosses too lightly over Marilyn's uncertainties. ' Long-distance romances are definitely more hazardous than those between the boy and girl next door. This is true not merely because of the lack of opportunity to have spats and then make up, but because of the difficulties the partners have in ordinary, day-to-day understanding of one another. Marilyn glimpsed an aspect of Ed she hadn't suspected in her brief visit to his home and it is one that could cause her grief. It is a mistake to believe that the marriage relation ship is something set apart from all others. The fact that Ed teases his kid sister and brother and makes a friend the butt of his jokes indicates a great deal about him. It shows he has deep sense of Inadequacy - so deep that he can gain a feeling of strength only by humiliating others, Marriage to such a person presents greater - than - usual difficulties. ; If Marilyn and Ed lived in the same community, she would get a chance to observe him at other times in other relationships. Possibly he was rather nervous about having his fiancee with him among his friends and family for the first time and his behavior was different from what it would normally be. If this is the case, Ed will surely ex plain something of this sort m his letters. Unless some means can be set up for Marilyn and Ed to get to know one another better, we don't think she should be encouraged to go ahead with the marriage. (Copyright 1960 General Feature! Corp,) Columbium Alloy Development Told Bolton Landing, N. Y. (Sci ence Service) - Development of new alloys of columbium that meet space age and nu clear requirements was report ed at a symposium on colum bium metallurgy here. Columbium is one of the several relatively uncommon metals, such as beryllium, that have become increasing ly important for atomic reac tors and high-performance jet and rocket engines because of their peculiar properties at high temperatures. Extensive deposits of columbium ore were recently discovered in Quebec. Alloys of columbium con taining tungsten and titanium were found to resist oxida tion at temperatures up to 2,550 degrees Fahrenheit, while maintaining good me chanical properties. Those containing aluminum and vanadium retain their low neutron cross section but have oxidation rates only a hun dredth the rate of pure colum bium. Metallurgists at Union Car bide Metals Company also in vestigated alloys containing varying amounts of titanium, molybdenum, chromium and zirconium.
