Tom S. - I'm sick of her
nagging.
p. 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.

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
