I'm miserable and j want to move back to the city. I Mrs. T. U. We can't. We said our goodbye's and must stay here. Mr. T. U. Last year I sold my business and my wife and I moved to Washington to be near our children and grandchildren. I envisioned a wonderful life, getting to know the young folks better. I wanted to make up tor the years when I was too busy to relax with them. But now I miss the old life, our old neigh borhood and close friends. The children belong to clubs and groups leaving them no time for me. I see them less than before Mrs. T. U. Now that the novelty of the change has worn off, my husband is restless. He isn't even trying to make new friends. Whenever he can t be with a member of the family, he talks of moving back to the Bronx. I'm sure we can find outlier retired couples like our selves here and enjoy this city. It isn't all up to the children. Besides, how will it look to re turn now? People will think we had a big fight and couldn't get along with our sons' families. The Council; In Pennsylvania Dutch this simple commentary sounds sage: "Vc get old zo quick and shmart zo slow." Mr. U s error lay in assuming that his family could replace, for him, a whole neighborhood, a slew of business associates, a lifetime reservoir of friends. No family can, or should, fill all of a man's social and emotional needs. Some people find it easy to strike up new bonds wherever they move. For others, great ef fort is required. Mr. U. seems to be one of the latter. If adjust ment to the strange milieu comes too hard to him, he should move back. Bosh, say we, to Mrs. U.'s tear of appeal" tmces. Tell the home folks thai moving kit - and caboodle without a trial period was a hasty decision. Coming back, in De Gaulle Inspects Two Nuclear Plants ORANGE.
