A.-My husband wants me to return to him but I don't love him. Ms W.-U my mother goes back to that creature, she can forget about me. Mrs. T. A.-The only emo tion I feel for my husband is pity because he has cancer of the throat. He is my second husband and has never shown . me or my children any kind-ness-in fact, he was Jailed for molesting my teen-age daughters. My children were ' placed with (heir father's - relatives, he was released from pricn and came back to live with me. But he drank and abused me, so I left him - in my apartment. I pay the : rent but I've moved in with Mae. a a a Ma W. - Mother must choose between that leech and her children. For ten years ' he's been bleeding her, never supported us, upset me until the court stepped in. When I was 18 I studied nursing, and I have a good job in a hospi tal now. Mother has a steady income too from office-cleaning contracts. We can have a respectable peaceful life, and even take in my sisters when they are of age. But she must ' drop that man compltely. The Council: Mae is right. The only explanation for Mrs. A's "pull" in the direction of her husband (after much ( "commuting" between living . alone and living with him, which we omitted from her . condensed words above) is that she likes to sufferl If so, she has no right to drag in Mae and the other children to suffer too. The cancer is a separate matter; perhaps the medical atention he gets for that condition can be extend' ed to his alcoholism and his psychoneurotic behavior. Mrs. A. can remain interested in his . health problems, but her own health hinges on straightening out her own course. She can't straddle between loyalty to her children and mothering this 100 per cent leech. Which shall it be, Mrs. A? Our ad vice is that you stay with Mae. There seems little hope . that your husband will ever act like one. Husbands pro tect wives. Two Men Wanted in Medford Arrested Medford police detectives have been notified that two men wanted her on bad check charges have been ap prehended, one in Portland and the other in San Francisco.

Articulate People Talk Up' Medford, McNeil Tells Group Don McNeil, manager of the Medford Chamber of Commerce, discussed his "fa vorite subject - Medford and the Rogue valley" at the Mon day luncheon of the Medford Chamber of Commerce Roundtable. McNeil's general thesis was that there Is something "spe cial" about Medford which causes those who have had some association with It to become "Texas-style ambas sadors" for It wherever they go In the world. The speaker titled his talk, "Medford? Where's That?" The point he wished to estab lish was that the question is not often asked about Med ford, since It seems unusually well known for a community its size. "Medford is perhaps bet ter known than those of us who live here think it is," he said. McNeil said there are at least four categories of per sons who "spread, the faith" about the city. They include "highly intelligent youngsters who leave Medford to seek jobs elsewhere," former resi dents, visitors and local resi dents who travel.

In other action the execu tive committee voted to hold a rummage sale In August and named Mrs. Jean Mills chairman of the project All these are articulate people." McNeil said, "who apparently 'talk up' Medford in glowing terms." To Illustrate his point, the chamber manager quoted ex cerpts from number of let ters he has received In his office during the last two months. From Instructor One came from a speech In structor at the University of Washington, who wrote to McNeil to tell him of a stu dent of his from Medford, Diane Lewis, whom he de scribed as a "splendid spokes man" for this area. Another letter was from a soldier stationed in Germany, whose "bunkmate ' was from Medford. The GI said his friend had told him so much about this area, he wanted some literature to see If he had been told the truth. Another came from a fam ily in Virginia. The writer said they planned to move to Medford In the near future on the strength of what they had been told about the Rogue valley by a friend who was a former resident. Heard Good Comments Another Inquiry received by the chamber office was from a family In Arkansas, which sought Information about Medford because they had "heard so many good comments" about It. Other letters have been re ceived recently from persons In Mississippi, California and Texas, among other places One teacher from Nebraska wrote he was "sold on Med ford without ever having seen it" because of some of the things he had heard A California resident wrote that he had developed car trouble during a recent vaca tion and while several other garages on his trip had "charged him for parts he didn't need," J. R. Whitney Olds garage had "fixed the trouble In 10 minutes."

Mahoney's Salary Attached Salem -0JPD- The State Tax commission has filed a $488.05 attachment on the salary of State Sen. Thomas Mahoney (D-Portland). The claim is for the bal ance of back state taxes which the commission claims are due from Mahoney, The Auditor's department of the Secretary of State of fice, which handles legisla tors' pay, said $116.66, less state and federal withholding taxes, was due Mahoney the day the claim was filed. It the commission wants to continue to take the back taxes from Mahoney's pay check, it will have to file ad ditional claims, the auditor aid. Lawmakers receive $250 month. Medford have really put the city on the map." An Air Force officer, for merly stationed at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, and now based in France, mailed a wrapper from a Medford pear he had been served In Europe to the chamber office. The officer said he still had fond memories of this area. McNeil said he continually gets letters from former serv icemen who had been sta tioned at Camp White during World War II. "Those men have never slopped talking about Med ford." McNeil said, "and they're still selling this area." The chamber manager said he thought there were several reasons for this unusual situ ation. He said Medfordites have a great deal of pride in their schools, and their reputation for excellence is well known. He said there Is a "competitive spirit" in this community that causes the people here to "need to be the best city In Oregon, and not just the fourth largest." Medford residents, McNeil said, like "to do things them selves," whether it is build ing hospitals, developing parks or off-street parking lots, or founding a Shake spearean festival. 'Independent Thtnkart' - The people here are "Inde pendent thinkers" too, he said. He referred to the move ment begun several years ago to found the state of Jeffer son out of northern Califor nia and southern Oregon. "You might even call us 'rebels' In a sense," he said. Medford also is noted for Its "firsts," McNeil said. He listed as Medford Innovations the formation of Mercy Flights Inc.; the Southern Oregon Tree Farm associa tion's radio net system: the practice of cloud seeding; the development of Park and Shop; the Medford Plan, which developed Into the Medford Crusade; the two county program for highway development; gift fruit pack ing; and a variety of other accomplishments. As optimistic as the situa tion Is, McNeil urged the au dience to do whatever It could to enhance Medford's regional and national repu- lion. He called upon area resi dents to become personal am bassadors whenever and wherever possible.
