All Omahans will observe this as
their watchword during the coming
school year, according to a proclaim
alton issued by Police Commissioner
Richard w. Jepsen.
Pointing out that personal safety i.
now a matter of constant thought, the
Commissioner called upon all Civic
and Public agencies as we'll as each
individual in the city to pledge their
cooperation in helping keep Omaha's
children safe during the coming
school year.
Much credit is due Omaha's
school teachers, both public and de-
nominational, for the fine job of
safety instructions done by them"
the Commissioner stated. However.
they alone cannot do the job. All
parents, when walking and driving,
must resolve to set a fitting example
Tor their children, thus supplementing
the job done by the schools. They
cannot expect the children to obey
traffic regulations if they, themselves,
fail to do So"
No motorist can expect an i'm
mature child to be safety conscious

never fail to slow down for the play

BE FRIENDLY
BY RUTH TAYLOR

When ! was growing up, there wa.
a popular bit Of verse which seemed
to appear everywhere, from greeting
cards to neatly framed Illuminated
texts of all sizes.

ularly in mine. But drippy or not
this verse contains a practical solution
for some Of the troubles which too
realistic-or selfish-thinking has
brought upon the world.
There would be no ace problems if
the workers from both sides of the
office door knew each other. There
would be no class problem if there
were a mingling Of the citizens Of a
community. There would be no re-
ligious problem if worshippers gave
to each others faith the respect they
want for their own.
What we need is understanding and
the willingness to start from scratch

concepts. We know facts and Stats
tics but not people We study all
sorts Of abtruse subjects. We dis

To be able to manage a home on
a small income is the greatest
achievement one a have. But to
do this successfully, the wife or
homemaker must have cooperation
from all members of the family.
The husband and wife must share
all financial responsibility from the
beginning. The full amount of in
come must be known by both par
ties and a mutually agreed upon
plan set up for spending and saw
ing.
1t may take several months Of
adjustment before your home bud
get is running smoothly, but gradu-
ally you will settle into a plan Of
spending that will fit your needs.
Since the housewife does most Of
the purchasing for the home, she
should pay the bills incurred. 1t is
an old-fashioned idea that the wom-
an should be released Of all fnan-
cial worry and concentrate on the
business of keeping house. How
ever, the modern family's success is
based upon the principle of share
and-share-alike, and the wife should
be completely aware of the fncn-
| cial situation.

G. D. WI am a married woman
and my husband is in service and |
am corresponding with a married
man. Of course his wife does not
seem to care much for him and she
doesn't seem to love him very much,
but do know that they do love each
other some. We have taken some
mighty big chances to be together.
Does he really love me or is he just
telling me this?
Ans: You are flattering his vanity
and building up his ego by going
with this man. He does not love you
and he takes particular caution 0 to
let his wife ct wind of any Of his
affairs. Your yearning for romantic
adventure is not at all becoming to a
woman whose husband is in service.
Give up the idea that an association
with other men will make you forget
your troubles they can't. they
will only add to them.
MMW.-My husband and l have
decided to purchase a home and | am
willing to work and help him in every
way that | can. Do you think it
would be wise for us to buy this place
we have in mind?
Ans: If the price is right, and the
terms suitable but it. Young
folks are wise indeed, to buy a home
while they are young and able to
work The money ordinarily paid
for rem might just as we'll be credit
ed on a home of your own.
MIL met a soldier about eight
months ago and we started going to-
gether. ] ct letters from him often
and he tells me in each of them how
much he loves me. He wrote his
parents about me and | received a
letter from his sister and she said il
her brother loves me, SO does she.
Is she trying to fool me?
Ans: 1t was thoughtful and con~
siderate of your boy friends sister to
write you such a friendly, sweet let
ter. Being in the service he hesitat-
ed to express his true feelings for
you. But he did let the folks back
home know what a "sugarplumv he
had fallen for. That accounts for
the letter from his sister. If you
are sincerely fond of the boy it might
be well for you to be nice to his peo-
pie.
