T. - I promised my daughter we'd wait until after her wedding. Sony C. - Her wedding was postponed. Where does that leave me? e e Jerome T - I'm an electri- clan. My wife died two years ago, leaving me with three children who are now, 19, 17 and 14. The oldest, a girl, be came engaged to a boy she met at college. He's 23, gradu ated year ago and is a mem ber of his father s firm. I m quite content with the match and I was delighted when they set a date for their mar riage. That enabled me to go ahead with plans to marry Sonya, a lovely widow who was a close friend of my late wife and who adores the children. We agreed to wait until after Julie's wedding. But due to a death in the fiance's family, the wedding was postponed indefinitely. That automatically holds up my marriage. I want to stick to my original bargain with my daughter. I want to see her married and settled first. Eonya, however, is getting restless. Sonya C. - I don't believe Jerry will ever marry me. I can't let my future hang on the whim of a 10-year-old girl who can t pick another date for her wedding. I'm suspi cious about Julie's delays. Either she's not sure she wants to go through with her own marriage, or she's trying to hold up her father's. While I'm very fond of all Jerry's children, I'd never let Julie lead me around by the nose the way she does her father. Jerry has no right to think I'll Just sit around and wait indefinitely. Our plans have been dragging on and now they depend upon a spoiled kid. Suppose she postpones her wedding for a year? She can. They're young. But we're not. That original arrange ment can be dropped. Tha Council; The lady's name is Sonya, Jerome, not Grlselda. No patient, silent, uncomplaining pushover, she. But her complaint, quite valid. puts you on the spot. There should be no limits, say you, to the patience of a woman, nor to the obligations of a father. Sonya disagrees. She is ready to set some limits. As far as Sonya is concern ed, she's not feeling maternal right now. She's in a connubial mood and she's ready to face Julie, woman to woman; no mother-daughter stuff right now. Facing Jerome, too, she wants his answer as a man, not as Julie's dad. The dancing ball in this three-cornered game has land ed squarely in Jerry's lap. Next move is his. He must look ahead to his own future. If he feels he's done ail he can in Julie's behalf, he owes It to himself and the other two children to get his new home set up. The failure to press Julie and her fiance to namo a new date indicates that something's wrong. Is the daughter's engagement off? Is Jerry getting cold feet about his own marriage? Son ya suspects the answer to both is yes, and that Jerry is just easing her out by blaming the delay on Julie's unsettled state. If Jerry wants to hold Son ya for himself, he must take a few steps, all with time limits. First, he must ascertain what's with Julie. What's really with her engagement? If it's on, a date approximation of one must be offered. If the thing is off, well, cry on Dad's shoulder and let's see what we can do, either to patch things up, or move along to new vistas. Secondly, Jerry sets his own date with Sonya. If reasonable, it uk-- Julie's plans into consideration. If the latter are nebulous, Jerry's had better be clear. But If he "wants out" him SUNDAY. MAY 20. 1962 Time -"--- self, he should be man enough to come clean with Sonya. She can tell a bona fide reason for delay from a concocted one. Here's the score, Jerry: If you still want Sonya, and still want to wait until after your daughter is married,- you'll have to take your chances that Sonya will still be around wanting you.

Elderly Man Leads II East Germans Under Berlin Wall Berlin-OIPD -An 81-year-old man led 11 other East Ger man refugees to freedom in West Berlin through a 30- yard tunnel under the barri cade border, It was announced last week. The refugees, eight men and four women, fled safely May 5 after secretly digging the tunnel for 16 days. They dug the tunnel from the So viet zone town of Glienicke to the French sector district of Rcinlckendorf in West Ber lin. . The escape was disclosed at a news conference after dis covery of the tunnel by the Communists made its further use impossible. The secret of the tunnel was so well kept that Com munist police did not discover it until May 10, five days after the mass flight. The refugees, three of them in their 70s and . one a 16-year-old boy, started the tun nel inside a chicken coop be longing to Max Thomas, 81, in a country area on the bor der. It was in the same su burban district that 28 per sons fled through another tunnel last Jan. 24. "We had to keep the tun nel secret so as not to en danger our flight," Thomas said. "If we could have spread the news, everyone in town would have fled with us." I 5 ACRES & TRAILER I $500 down, quick possession, city wjter, irrigated pasture ground.

Senate Approves Washington-flJPD-A bill au thorizing a Sea Cadet Corps of America, patterned after a youth program pioneered in Tacoma, wash., was ap proved by the Senate late last week and went to the House for further action. Sens. Warren G. Magnu- son and Henry M. Jackson, who cosponsored the measure, pointed out that the Depart ment of Navy officials had endorsed organization of the program. The measure would charter the new organization so it can be undertaken nationally, the Washington Democrats said. Thomas told the news con ference, "we wanted our free dom. I would not even want to be buried over there." Thomas is a bald, stout, vigorous man whose few hairs are silver gray. He did not give the impression of ad vanced age in either his talk or actions. In the 16 days it took to build the tunnel, the refugees removed 3,500 pails of dirt. They tunneled out a passage way five feet, six inches deep. "We dug it so deep so that our wives would not have io crawl," said Thomas. "We wanted them to walk un bowed to freedom." The group came up in West Berlin at 8:30 p.m. on May 5, three foot behind the last strand of barbed wire built by the Communists to pre vent escapes. 2 BDR. 7 ACRES J Furnished, 2 irrigation wells adjoining Central Point city limits.

Normally timid rabbits have been known to go com pletely berserk. Partridges have been observed doing a mysterious, crazy dance. These actions have been observed during the phase of the full moon. And it would seem that ani mals alone are not the only ones affected by the full moon. When the lunar orb streams through an open win dow onto a sleeping person's face, that person, if he or she is of the right temperament, might go a little mad or so the ancients thought and they went so far as to attempt to Drove it. The Latin term "lunatic" and the English word "moon struck" were both derived from the belief that the full moon caused madness. Many people still believe that sleep ing in the moonlight will cause "moon - blindness especially in tropical countries where the moon is particularly bright. No Discomfort Even the more sensible folks often think moonlight causes some people to lose their heads and become hope lessly "moonstruck"; probably another name for love. It is an affliction with no discom fort; even those who get over it willingly expose themselves again and again. With an object as prom inent as the moon and so much a part of everyone's life, it is only natural that there should be many supersti tions and strange beliefs built up around it. No doubt the moon has played a pretty im portant part in the life and destiny of man. From its vary ing phases men have selected different interpretations. Many theories, some diffi cult to disprove, have been - . .. INSURANCE CO. OWNED" Phone 772-5264 MEOPORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD.

WATKINS (Regtstet ana Tribune Syndicate 19621 advanced for the planting of crops, the cultivation of the ground or the harvesting of food. There is a proper time, moon-wise, these folks say, to make sauerkraut, jelly, chili sauce, or "hay." A period oc curs each month when corns, bunions or ingrown nails should be trimmed or treated. There are some who would not think of cutting their fingernails unless the moon was in the proper phase. Nothing Impossible These believers think that if the moon and the other celestial bodies are in proper alignment nothing is impos sible. Peculiarly enough, many of these theories seem to work out rather well and they in ject into the argument a little uncertainty as to what is fact and what is fiction. Even the unromantic and incredulous men of science have to admit that bird migra tions, tides, weather to some small degree, and may be even the fortune of men, wax and wane with the various phases of the moon. The early American Indians placed considerable import ance in lunar changes; they associated their fortunes to the moon's tegular cycles. Today, the same moon still rides majestically across the sky, furnishing material to songwriters and poets.
