Family editor's Note: The ramlly Coua -H consists of m Judge, a psychla 1 If lit, three clergymen, a newspaper venditor, ft womin'i editor and two writers.

Btrtrlr S. - I only wanl people to respect him. : Tom S.-My wife and I have I oOSr nbn w LJliLUJlMiuVlJ LSlJiilMJUi .been married 23 years and have four fine children. We have had a happy married life, but recently we have had arguments over one particu lar thing.' '. We have been doing a lot of (ocializing in the past year and Beverly has taken to criti cising me on every step. She ays I clown too much or I bore people with my stories nd jokes. I enjoy telling a good story and I notice that veryone but Beverly laughs. I like to liven things up and I see no harm in that. Some times a story may be a little off-color, but I never tell one (hat hasn't some real humor in it I'm sick of being nagged every time we come home . from a party. . . j Beverly S. - Tom just does n't know when people are - laughing at him, not with him, and I can't get him to ee the difference. The reason we have been ocializing in the past year is that Tom has been raised to tin executive position in his firm. This has brought us into contact with a different group of people. This crowd Is sophisticated and most of them are well educated. None ef the other men acts the way Tom does. . .Tom should realize that I criticize him for his Own good. I want people to respect him. He wants to be the life of the party. I think some of these people encourage him because they want him to make a fool of himself. The others listen beoause they are polite. Tha Council: Tom and Bev erly apparently - are both a little insecure in their new social environment and Bev erly's criticism is doing' neith er of them much good. .lf Tom,, has the ability to rise' to an executive position in ; his firm, the chances are that his judgment is fairly good and tnt he knows how to. get along with people. If he goes too far in his attempts to be the life of the party, it may be out of uneasiness. If this is true, Beverly's (harp criticism could under mine his confidence further and lead to more of the be havior she finds so objection able. However, it is entirely pos sible that the "sophisticated" and well-educated people who have Beverly on her mettle find Tom a lot of . fun and genuinely enjoy his humor. In a large crowd, the indi viduals who don't particularly enjoy him can always steer dear. '.'.''.". " Beverly can best help the Situation by developing her own social abilities. Instead of watching her husband to see if he is making a fool of him- elf at parties, she should de velop the habit of creating the kind of conversation she would like with the indi viduals she prefers. She can win the respect and friend ship of desirable couples on her own. When she feels more secure she will worry, less about her husband's behavior. ; -. Tom may develop more so cial refinement through re pealed pleasant contacts with his hew crowd.- Nagging at home will only cast a shadow on the future contacts. ;. ; (Copyright I960, General.

Ancient Romans Halted Traflic Philadelphia' (Science Serv ice) Ancient Rome had its traffic, problems, too, and used some of the same tech niques being tried in our big cities today to solve their problems. ." Rome's narrow streets were not marked "One Way" but in- effect they were, because each driver sent a runner ahead to hold up traffic at the other end of the street or alley until the chariot had passed through. The i fringe parking plan used in modern large cities to-relieve the downtown park ing problem was used in Rome In the days of Julius Caesar, In the Roman day there were 12 hours of "day light" adjusted according to season. Private vehicles were forbidden on the city streets from dawn until two hours before dark. A traveler com ing to Rome had to' park his carriage at the city gates and continue Into town either on foot or in a carrying chair or Hlfp on I ha J MZ'WSMZatm'T TV V.?fVW NViMr III Jl ' Ik'-rVrl r.,-.jr , I III 'VN I I U',ri I " 1 mJM UL! r: railiH!
