Agnes R. - Because of my
molhDr-in-law' will, we're all
miserable.
Jant R. - My mother was
only trying to protect me. The
others won t.
. Agnei R. - My husband in
herited a house from his late
mother but it had a string at
tached. His sister Janet was to
be entitled to quarters in the
house until she married.
And what a string that
turns out to be. It's more like
a rope tying us all together so
we can't get free. Janet is a
crank and a fusspot. She never
got along with cither her
mother or her brother while
they lived together before 1
entered upon the scene. Now
there are constant quarrels
and, because of her, our mar
riage has a rocky time. It's
been two years now since I
moved in. There's no sign of
anyone marrying this "char
acter." No one will be foolish
enough to risk it. Her mother
must have known this when
she made her will.
I want Janet to come to a
lawyer with us and work out
a change.
Janet R. - The only reason
Agnes and Bob quarrel with
me is that Agnes thought I'd
niove out in a few months and
her own mother and sister
could move In. She's Just get
ting impatient. Every time
her family visits they glare at
me as though I'm using some
thing that belongs to them.
Well, the home is my home
and I'll live there until I have
a better home to move to. I
doubt that this would ever
be possible. It's a big house
and I have a three-room apart
ment, complete with my own
kitchen and bath, on the top
floor.
Naturally I'm interested in
the house's receiving proper
care and upkeep. Yet Bob re
sents it when 1 call his atten
tion to a sagging step. And
Agnes can't take it when I do
the bathrooms over, right af
ter .she "cleans" them. If It
were up Id those two, the
place would cave in from neglect.
Thi Councils When is a ten
ant not a tenant? When is a
roommate not a roommate?
When she's a relative, of
course.
There are mature families
In which a livc-and-lct-live
pact prevails without spelling
anything out. These can occu
py adjoining quarters and
still adhere to the by-your-leave
politeness observed by
any considerate neighbor. But
the legacy of Agncs's mother-in-law
didn't confer wisdom,
grace or maturity on her chil
dren. Nor did it take note of
factors which might disrupt,
rather than enrich, their lives.
Even if all were moonlight
and roses between Agnes and
Janet, the architectural setup
lTf f 'H
sounds impossible from the
privacy angle. Evidently Jan
et must ankle through the
young couple's quarters to
reach her own. And, en route,
she "sees things" which she
proceeds to call to their at
tcntion. They, in turn, rankle
at her criticism. Unless Jan
et's apartment is completely
separate, with a separate en
trance, the rancor will con
tinue to infest the place.
We disagree with Agnes,
however, as to what was in
the mother's mind in making
the bequest. No mother would
agree that her daughter is
hopclcs s 1 y unmarriageablc.
Surely the senior Mrs. R. as
sumed that Janet's stay with
her brother and sister-in-law
would be a short one. At the
same time she took the nat
ural precaution of providing
permanent shelter for Janet
in ease the young woman was
unable to establish a separate
home for herself.
Inasmuch as no one is hap
py with the present design, we
suggest that Agnes and Bob
take Janet up on her intention
to live with them "until I
have a belter home to move
to." And we urge Janet to
accompany them to the law
yer and listen open-mindedly
to alternate suggestions,
whereby she'll still have a
safe and spacious apartment,
but under another roof. And
instead of being "under foot"
every day in her brother's
home, she can be a pleasant
and dignified guest once or
twice a month.
A probated will is Inviola
ble. But often, with the help
of lawyers, the terms can be
adjusted so as to realize the
intent even belter than was
before possible. The intent,
here, was to offer Janet a
place to live. Surely this can
be carried out in a more
wholesome way..

Since then he has lived in

University Library
Selected for Group
Eugene - The University
of Oregon library has been
elected to membership in the
Association of Research Li
braries. Membership in the associ
ation, which is by invitation,
includes the principal univer
sity libraries of the United
States and Canada, as well as
the Library of Congress, the
NationaTLibrary of Medicine,
the National Agricultural Li
brary, the New York Public
Library, and other non-university
libraries.
The association has been,
for more than 30 years, the
principal organization of the
major research libraries of
the country.
The main efforts of the as
sociation iiave been directed
toward the building and
strengthening of research li
braries collections and the de
velopment of bibliographical
controls for research materi
als. Improvement of the schol
arly resources of this coun
try has been a constant objective.
just one thing money.
If you're typical, that "sense of agreement" about money
which you seemed to have during your courtship was mostly
surface and it disappeared right after your marriage. You
have had to learn a whole new way of managing your money
properly and quite possibly, you haven't learned yet.
You have trouble meeting your expenses from time to
time. You're not at all unusual if in the past, you have failed
to make an instalment payment on the due date of an ap
pliance or furniture or a car and have had to ask your
creditor for an extension.
And if you're the wife in this typical couple, you prob
ably pay most of the family bills, worry more than your
husband about meeting them and have a strong conservative
streak which makes you wary about risking any of your
nestegg on a speculative venture.
The November issue of "Redbook" magazine, to be
published next week, will include a detailed study on
"What Money Does To Marriage," based on answers lo
a comprehensive questionnaire from 446 young married
copules living all over the United States and Canada.
While this may not be a scientific cross section of American
families under 35, Mrs. Luise Addies, home economist for
ihe Community Service Society of New York, the largest
family social agency In the country, told Redbook she
believes the answers are "representative of most young
married couples." From my knowledge of other surveys
and hundreds of interviews I've had over the yeari, I
believe they are loo.
For instance, the finding that most couples nearly 60
per cent quarrel about money rings true. Consider this from
a couple living in an apartment development with such thin
walls that everyone is privy to family arguments: "We ve
been here four years, and in all that time I don't think I've i tv sch0ol officials of eastern
heard an argument that wasn't about money, really. It might a'n(j western states seem to
have seemed to oe aoout ine car or presents or ainner out j fcc a ncC(J for sucn reorgani.
or lllIdWA, uui wiii-ii j-iju fcui i i&iii uuwii iu il, an ine iiKiiis
were about money." That's an astute, observation.
The finding thai families who quarrel the most are in
the middle-income ($6,000 to $0,000 a year) bracket also
rings true. Asks Murray Teigh Bloom, who wrote up the
study: "Is this because, unlike couples with no money for
luxuries or couples with ample money, these husbands and
wives must agree or clash in choosing the few luxuries they
can afford?" The answer is implicit in his question yes.
Confirmed loo by many other studies is the finding that
wives are financial conservatives. When asked "if someone
you trusted gave you an admitted long shot as a speculative
investment, would you take a flyer?", more than half the
families said "no" and in families divided on this, the wives
who were against taking a flyer outnumbered those in favor
by five to one. Every profile of the woman stockholder has
underlined her general conservatism in investing and the
fact that women are the dominant owners of such traditional
blue chips as American Telephone, Eastman Kodak, duPont
pinpoints this characteristic.
In some of the answers there are significant guides.
As one illustration, nearly half the families questioned re
ported that each partner had a personal money allowance
that need not be accounted for. This does help make a
successful marriage. As another illustration, a survey sur
prise was the disclosure that 70 per cent of the wives in
addition to 95 per cent of the husbands carried life in
surance. This is a common sense move to protect ihe
children.
Of course, there was a question about budgets and again
ringing true was the finding that almost 50 per cent of the
couples had tried budgets and given them up. But many have
budgets without realizing it; their very fights about money
reveal their awareness of spending plans.
In sum, t lie results indicate, as Mrs. Addiss says, that
young couples are "doing a responsible job in managing
their money, spending il wisely and on the whole doing a
remarkably thoughtful job. Someone ought to congratulate
them." Herewith, I do.
