Our daughter is married. Now that there's just the two of us, my wife and I, I d like to turn over the business to my employees, and go places and do things. ' But I-can't go ahead with my plans because my wife thinks they're ridiculous. She's a career woman and wants to get ahead in her field which is interior decor ating. I can see her side of it. She's 47 and is just beginning to be recognized in the trade. Is there a fair compromise? Certainly I can't go off by my self for a year or so. And my present boredom and restless ness keep pushing me to quit what I'm doing. Shouldn't Genie slow up for my sake and help me. get my bearings? Maybe after I get the travel bug out of my system, 1 11 be able to stand the old rut again. Eugenia O. - Just when I can really go full steam ahead on my professional career, Wally wants me to go full steam ahead to the North Pole with him. We married young and for the first 20 years my main in terest was our home and our daughter. But over the past ten years I've gradually found my place in the highly com petitive field I love, tne decor ating of apartment-house lob bies. Also, I enjoy community work and had a .wonderful time , campaigning with . the League of Women Voters dur ing the last election. ( Now Wally proposes my joining the ranks of the idle rich, people who are always either arriving or leaving. What a horrible prospect at this early age. I want to be a participant in what's going on, not a spectator. I want to pro duce, not merely consume. Cruises bore me, and they'll bore Wally too. We met people there who take no interest in the everyday world. They just keep going. They don't even bother to vote. I want Wally to stay put and expand his business or something. . The Council - Our consid ered, though sympathetic, word to Eugenia is, "Whoa!" Here's one of those cross roads where a feller needs his wife. Fortunately there's no emer gency at hand, so Eugenia can take steps to consolidate her position in her industry and try to "freeze" it at a point from which she can take a leave of absence. Although her status may drop a few notches, her prestige in Walt er's eyes will soar. And it's Walter she'll want around at the end of a hard day. No ca reer, as Margaret Fishback ob served, can put its arms around you. How about offering to take a year out for Walter? Then he can proceed to plan. In stead of a cruise (which, by the way, carries convalescent whiz-bangs as well as wast rels!), he can try a freighter like that slow-boat to China. The chances are, however, that it won't take him a year to discover that his Basic prob lems will be solved neither by travel (for escape) nor by Eu genia (for companionship), Walter must substitute "route" for that rut he speaks of. Travel can be part of it, for education and excitement. But Purpose is its steering wheel. That means it must lead to study, skills, commun ity service, and maybe even IV NORWAY ENVOY-Clifton R.

Willis ' t (UPI Telephoto) Russia Warned U.S. To Maintain ikinq Force Washington - (UPD - Secre tary of Defense Robert S. Mc Namara has issued a veiled warning to Russia that the United States will maintain, a sufficient force to strike ;a "decisive counterblow" in the case of all-out nuclear war. McNamara said, "So long as the adversaries of freedom continue to expand their stockpiles of mass destruction weapons, the United States has no alternative but to in sure that all times and under all circumstances it has the capability to deter their use." His warning was contained in a statement prepared for delivery at a closed-door ses sion of the House Armed Services committee. ; "In this age of nuclear armed intercontinental ballis tic missiles," McNamara said, "the ability to deter rests heavily on the existence of a force which can weather a massive nuclear attack, even with little or no warning in sufficient strength to strike a decisive counterblow." "No effort should be spared, no means overlooked, which reasonably can be expected to contribute to the strengthen ing, protection and sure con trol of these crucial retaliatory forces."1 PROTEST VISIT COSTS Bombay, India - (UPI) - Two hundred Indiana Socialists demonstrated Thursday night against the "excessive ex penses" brought about by the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to India. The demonstrators tried to break through a po lice cordon to reach the gover nor's residence, where the queen and Prince Philip are staying, but police held them back. what Eugenia suggests, a sec ond business enterprise. He might be intrigued by the idea of offering employment to the handicapped, for example. A strange thing may hap pen to Eugenia's "year out." Surfeited with loafing, infused with some of, Eugenia's zest for public service and for challenging work, Walter may holler, '"Nuff!" after six months. But as a helpmate she must stop in her tracks long enough for him to get back on his. Stockholders Have Annual Chance To Tell Corporate Views By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Fmancail Editor New York-iUPD- Corporate democracy will be practiced to the hilt in the next two months. It's annual meet ing time, and more than 13 million stock holders will have a chance to express their corpor ate views at thousands of Henry Becntold meetings across tne country It was not too long ago that one of the limiting factors of these meetings was . travel. The many meetings held in this city, for example, would of necessity cause inconven ience and expenditures of time and money to stockhold ers outside the metropolitan area. . However, with the introduc tion of closed-circuit televi sion, not .only was a new means found to hurdle the problem of geography, but a new-found opportunity was afforded stockholders any where in the United States to participate with management in corporate discussions. The first coast-to-coast gath ering of stockholders ever held - a General Mills closed circuit meeting a few years back - proved highly success ful. Seven cities were linked in the large screen telecast -New York, Chicago, Boston, Buffalo, Minneapolis, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Shareholdings Dispersed Looking back, when a cor poration was largely a com munity endeavor, virtually all shareholders could and did aitend stockholder meetings. But as the Midwest and West began to be . settled, share holdings became widely dis persed. By the late 1920s widespread public ownership of securities was a recognized fact; the era , of the small shareholder had arrived. Here is where the travel problem arose. Few people could afford the time and money to attend stockholder meetings. And as a result the original theory of free and general discussion at the meet ings became a nostalgic mem ory and the public share hold er became the absentee own er of the Twentieth Century, , Proxy regulations set up in the Secruities and Exchange Act; of 1934 helped fill this breach, y (U pv At the same time, some firms took steps to make their share holder meetings more accessible and convenient to far-flung membership. In 1939 General Mills innovated the regional meeting, and in 1954 the company held eight such meetings. The first use of closed cir cuit television for stockholder meetings were to accommo date overflow attendance. In 1955, more than 3,000 share holders registered for a Gen eral Electric Co. meeting - much larger crowd than could be seated comfortably in the armory in Schenectady, N. Y. The problem was solved by a number of stockholders watching the proceedings over large-screen closed circuit TV in a nearby theater. Started in 1957 The first annual meeting employing closed-circuit tele vision between two cities took place on April 16, 1957 when American Machine & Foundry linked share owners and man agement gathered in New York and Chicago. Two weeks later Interna tional Business Machines also employed this new medium to treat 1,200 stockholders, gath ered in a hotel ballroom in New York City, to a half-hour tour of its Poughkeepsie, N. Y. plant, 75 miles away, and to explain and demonstrate oper ation of IBM computers. Then came the cost-to-coast General Mills meeting, made possible through the produc tion and network facilities of Theatre Network Television, Inc. By means of two-way ra dio, stockholders in all seven cities were able to engage in a question and answer session with management. The TNT closed circuit now embraces 350 cities in the United States and Canada. The company said if full po tential of this medium is real ized by management and stockholders, "we may con ceivably see a return to the corporate spirit and intimacy of the earlier days of America." Firemen Called Out 42 Times During January The Medford fire depart ment responded to 42 alarms during January and the rural fire department responded to 18 alarms, according to Fire Chief Gordon Barker's month ly report.
