BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York IUP1) - Automotive air conditioning, like swim ming pools and two cars, no longer is a luxury for only a chosen few. In 1956 about 46 per cent of the automo tive air con ditioning units went into high priced cars, Henry Bechtold 29 per cent Into medium priced autos and 25 per cent into low priced cars. Only three years later, In J959, about 31 per cent of these units were installed in the higher priced cars, 26 per cent in the medium range and 43 per cent in low priced cars. Everybody Wanif This year air conditioning is making further inroads in the low priced car market, particularly, to everyone's surprise, in compact autos. Auto makers had made no provisions for offering air conditioning as an optional accessory on their 1960 com pacts, and, as a result, the in dependent makers of "hang on" cooling units reaped an unexpected windfall, accord ing to Warner Electric Brake & Clutch Co. The 1961 models will be a different story, how ever, with most car manufac turers offering air condition ing. - . x Air conditioning in automo biles has made great strides since 1953 when only 0.7 per cent of that year's new mod pis were so eauipped and the industry chalked up sales of 40,600 units. Five years ago 176,000 units were sold and 2.4 per cent of the cars boasted air condi tioning. This year, the indus try estimates sales will reach 670,000 units, meaning 10 per cent of all new cars will be air conditioned. Unit sales are forecast to reach 750,000 next year and about l.i mil lion bv 1965. Warner noted that while lh Southwest, with its high temDeratures, continues to be ihe prime market for automo- ivi nir conditioners, ine in dustry is experiencing rapid crowth throughout me nation. T-he Northern and Midwestern states are expected to account for 30 per cent of car air con- riitinnine sales in laou Salesmen and corporate car fleet owners in the north are big customers for .air condi tioned cars. Truck air condi tioning also is becoming popu lar. Used All-Year Round Warner, a leading supplier of air conditioning compres sor clutches, noted that al though car air conditioners are considered a convenience only in hot weather, they fre quently are used by motorists in the spring and fall months. It explained that operation of the air conditioner permits the driver to ride with the windows closed, thereby es caping annoying road noises, draft discomfort, hay fever pollen and dirt. The refrigerant type of au tomotive air conditioner was invented in 1937 but was not produced commercially until the late 1940s. The first units were custom made and cost from $900 to $1,400. The units also were cumbersome, tak ing up a car's entire trunk compartment. , Custom units were pro duced for a limited market until 1953 when technological improvements enabled the mass production of air condi tioners which could be fitted Valentine Okayed As New Postmaster L. Houston Valentine, resi dent of Jacksonville for the pats nine years, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate Wednes day as Jacksonville's post master.' Valentine takes the position of the late Leon Matheny. An electrician by trade, Valentine and his wife, Edna, live at 104 North Fourth st. Word of Valentine's ap pointment came today from Sen. riall S. Lusk, who is serving the remainder of the late Sen. Richard Neuberger's term. on virtually any car. Today the price on such units range from $200 to S400. Warner said. The independent manufac turers of automotive air con ditioners, most of whom are located in the Southwest hart the market to themselves un til 1953 when the auto manu facturers began offerins tlmir own makes as optional equip ment. Two Attend Weddings; One Right, One Wrong Albany, N. Y. - An out-of-town couple drove here for the wedding of a relative. Cars were parked around the First Christian church. The couple went inside, de posited their gift in the recep tion room and settled down to watch. The bride walked down the aisle. "That's not her," the wife exclaimed. The couple departed hurriedly, finally ar riving at the wedding they planned to attend. It already was in progress at the First Methodist church. The Family Council A J Editor's .Vote: The Family Comu-tl consists or ft Judfe, ft psychia trist, three rytgynicu, three editors and a women's editor. Kadi article Is a tiumntary or an actual rase hlsfty. The Council reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible acem-irs and counselors. Caroline S.-His only inter est is nude photography. Glen S.-l look on it as art. " Caroline S. - My husband and I have been married six years and have two children -a girl, 5', and a son, 3. Our marriage hasn't been happy from the first. We al ways had a lot of fights, main ly about in-law problems and the fact that Glen doesn't ever take me out or have any inter est in our home. His one inter est is photography-using a nude model-and this is some thing else that makes me very angry. I feel this isn't right for a married man. When 1 say anything to him he says. "O.K., let's get a divorce." I don't want to break up the marriage because of the children. Glen S.-I think it's worse for children to listen to con stant bickering than for them to live in a broken home. I notice that our little girl looks frightened every time Caro line sereHms at me, which she does nine-tenths of the time I am home. I feel a man is entitled to one hobby and mine has al ways been photography. I am very serious about this and have even won an award in a contest. Anybody who thinks photographing the nude model is wrong has a dirty mind. I look on it as art. All of the great painters nave done the same. The way I see it, Caroline is just looking for trouble. I have been a faithful husband. I don't drink or gamble. I come home every night. She ought to be satisfied. The Council: Glen's state ment of his virtues as a hus band puts him in the passable class. He has none of the com mon, major defects of hus bands. But we don't think most wives would feel satis fied with just that. Caroline is clamoring for a friend and a helpmate someie with whom she can enjoy life. We don't think she has found the right means of achieving this, but we do think she has cause to beef about a husband who believes the total of his husbandly re sponsibilities is fulfilled in negative terms-not drinking, gambling or carousing. As for the nude photogra phy, we can sympathize with both points of view, but we do not think it is a major issue in itself. It merely re flects the major issue. If, . for example, Caroline felt she had a friend and helpmate in her husband, she might be more open to under standing her husband's inter est. He could explain some of the technical problems involv ed and show her the differ ence between good and poor 'photography. On the other hand, if Caro line were less inclined to jump down her husband's throat at every opportunity, if she showed a friendly con cern about his activities, he might be more willing to talk to her about things. There is no question that the companionship Caroline longs for is a two-way street. And there is also no question that their present discord is having a damaging effect on the children. Divorce would undoubtedly be even more damaging and this couple would solve nothing by it, for they would merely be ac- Better Life On Earth Is Goal Of Backward States Ruhcvoth, Israel (Science Service) - A better life on earth, not a trip to the moon or other planets, Is the goal of the Asian and African dele gates to the International Con ference on Science in the Ad vancement ol New States in session here at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Finance Minister Dr. S. E. Imoke of Eastern Nigeria, which will become an inde pendent nation in Oct. 1, ex pressed the hope that coun tries from the Eastern bloc es pecially the Soviet Union, would join in the attempt to harness scientific and techno logical knowledge for the less privileged on earth before prottcding with ambitious programs in outer space and trips to the moon.

Once they have set the goal and accepted the responsibility of meeting it they will be on the road to making a successful marriage. (Copyright 1960, General Featurei Corp.) He said, "We do not ask for the moon , , . all we seek is guidance, assistance and co operation in our efforts to ex tract from tiie resources of our countries a more abundant lite." . The Afro-Asian delegates have asked that high priority be given to discussion of such basic problems as high mortality, relief from hunger, primary and secondary educa tion, and , advanced research on development of industry or commerce relating to econom ic requirements. Their request was under scored by the urgent plea of Rev. Solomon Caulker, vice president of University Col lege. Sierra Leone (scheduled for independence from Bri tain, April 27, 1961), who asked the conference to take up specii'ic problems of coun tries like his own "where eight out of ten babies are doomed to die within the first year of their life."
