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.

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.
