'What would you say if put

my old school maxim about fearing

"Does my claim impress you as

he swung about my dooryard and

MI saseu W o .sly "ie
l v l. young man." writes a
Massachusetts mother. "She
has been teaching for two years
but would give up work If she
married. I have trained her
well as a housekeeper and she
is not extravagant. But Johns
salary is only 81, 300 a year, and
both her father and I feel that is
not enough for a young couple
who hope for children and who
have certain social obligations
to sustain. What, in your opin-
ion, is the minimum sum upon
which a girl is safe to marry in
these days? There is no imme-
date prospect of a raise for
John, and it is hard to condemn
them to an indefinite wait. At
the same time my husband and
Iare most unwilling to see Mar

cational institution ourselves,
and most of my husbands sal
airy is paid in free board, free

ton allowance, we cannot prom

The answer to this is that ANY
steady salary is enough for the right
wife, and that no salary-no matter
how large, is enough for the wrong
one. II Margaret is intelligent
enough, and strong enough. to mar
ry her John on his 81 800, she win

Successful Families Save.
But that still leaves the soup ket-
tie and the radio and the small
home in which q man and a woman
are building for a sound future.
Ninety-nine out Of every hundred
successful American lives began
that way. I don't mean multi-mil-
lionaires, although such fortunes as
the Ford and the Woolworth for
tunes started with the saving of
nickels and dimes. But / mean the
hundreds of thousands of prosperous
folk who live in the handsome homes
we all drive past on Sunday; the
big rooms and the big fires, the nice
little maid coming to the door, the
boys off in college, the girls having
glorious times at dances and ski
ing parties.
And believe me, there's a great
relish to life lived on the terms of
love in a cottage. There's a great
thrill in stretching those seven pre-
cious dollars every week to spread
over butter and eggs, cornstarch
and carrots, apples and bacon. No
partnership in life is quite as heart
filling as the partnership of the man
and woman who have the courage
to withdraw for awhile from the
competition Of card-parties and din
ners, new frocks and new cars, and
look ahead to a bigger future. 1t
isn't always easy to do. The inn
pulse to take the car on long extrav-
agant trips, to send just few flow
ers to Betty in the hospital. to wire
the Browns on their anniversary, or
to spend as much for Christmas
wrappings as for the gifts within the
wrappings, Is a very natural one.
Road to Wealth.
But what you learn IN the lean
years, what you gain from books and
walks and plans when you decide to
live within-not your income, but
two-thirds Of IL. win be Of priceless
value to you all the rest Of your
life. For saving even a little and
keeping out Of debt Is the INEVITA-
BILE road to wealth. You don't un-
derstand that truth. and neither do

that keep absolutely out Of debt and

Directors Held Subject
To Recall by Hershey

Conscientious objectors to military
training who are assigned to work
camps for their period OF service
will be placed in their own reserve"
organization on completion of their
duty.
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, ma
tional director of selective service,
said last night that these consclen-
tious objector reservists will be sub
ject to recall for additional partici-
patton in work of national impor-
tance. Just as selectees are subject
to additional duty as members of
military Reserve units after their
training period is over.
Selective service regulations have
been amended to provide for this
reserve of conscientious objectors
Any objector who changes his
mind after he gets to a work camp
and decides he'd prefer military
training may apply through his
camp director for reclassif1cation by
his local draft board, Gen. Hershey
said. The time spent in the work
camp, however, cannot be deducted
from the subsequent military train
ing period in such cases.

Fees for Vehicles Using
Memorial Road Protested
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. e.-The
Virginia Conservation Commission
has protested action by the National
Park Service In imposing fees on
buses and sightseeing vehicles pass
ing over the Mount Vernon Memorial
highway, leading from Washington
through Alexandria to Mount Ver-
non.
The fees. which will be charged
after November l, will be SO per seat
per year, with quarterly permits
available at IS cents per seat and
single day permits at 81 per day per
vehicle.
The commissions opposition was
voiced in letter signed jointly by
Chairman N. Klarence Smith and j.
Stuart White, director of publicity
and advertising, and sent to Francis
Gillen, assistant superintendent Of
the Park Service.
The letter said imposition of the
fees would most probably result in
buses and other sightseeing vehicles
using the alternate U. S. Route l,
which already Is congested; that it
would increase the charges to tour
lists using the buses and would there
fore curtail the number of visitors to
Alexandria and Mount Vernon, and
that the fees were discriminatory in
that they did not apply to Washing
ton taxicabs using the Memorial
highway.

29th Division Set
To Pursue Retreatinu
Foe in War Games
Three Corps Of First Army
Get Separate Problems
In Second Phuse
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAMDEN, S. c., Oct. "a new
set of problems faced the men and
officers of the lst Army's three corps
as they returned to separate train
ing exercises following the first
phase of the Carolina training
maneuVerS.
Preparatory to the resumption of
field work, the I'd Corps, commanded
by Maj. Gen. Lloyd R. Fredenhall,
was reduced to two divisions instead
of three, losing the 44th temporarily
In order that the latter might fur
nish opposition for the 9th Corps,
commanded by Maj. Gen. Karl
Truesdell.
The 44th, minus the 18th Infan-
try, made a march of some so miles
in two columns from an area south
of Chesterfield. S. c., to new base
in the vicinity of Norman, N. c., the
9Th Corps headquarters.
ID. c. Guardsmen Are Pursuers.
The remainder of Gen. Freden-
halls corps, divided into Red and
Blue forces, was primed to stage a
withdrawal operation, with the Blue
28th, Pennsylvania National Guard
division, withdrawing and the Red
29th, consisting Of Maryland, Vir-
ginia and District of Columbia
GuardSmen, in pursuit.
Public relations headquarters here
were without details of the exercise
planned for the 9Th Corps, but it
was believed the 44th, made up of
Guardsmen from New York and New
Jersey. would act as Red Army in
opposing the return of the Blue
26th Division, New England Guard
unit, to its base near Norman from
its defensive position west of Nor
wood, N. c.
In, the 1st Corps area between
Chester and Winnsboro, S. c., the
Red 9th Division took a defensive
position along the White Oak
Ridge opposing the superior Blue
force, made up of the 30th National
Guard (Carolinas, Georgia and Ten
nessee), and the 9th Division.
